Why must you always try to make me over ?
Take me as I am or let me go

White lilies never grow on stalks of clover
Take me as I am or let me go.


You're trying to reshape me in a moment
In the image of someone you used to know
I won't be a stand-in for an old love

Take me as I am or let me go.

You've tried to change me ever since you've met me

Take me as I am or let me go.
If you cannot overlook my faults, forget me
Take me as I am or let me go.


You're trying to reshape me in a mould love
In the image of someone you used to know

But I won't be a stand-in for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go.
