Just as I Am - Jimmy Scott

I’ve had a lot of big dreams

I’ve made a lot of bad moves

I know you could walk away

But you never do

I’ve met a lot of cold hearts

I’ve learned to smile and deceive

I know I’m hard to be around

But you never leave

I’m not easy to understand

But you hold out your hand

And you say you love me

Just as I am

You always treat me

The best that you can

You say you want me, need me

Love me baby

Just as I am, just as I am

I’ve made a lot of heartaches

I’ve found a lot of closed doors

When all the others turn away

You love me more

You love me more

I’m not easy to understand

But you hold out your hand

And you say you love me

Just as I am

You always treat me

The best that you can

You say you want me, need me

Love me baby

Just as I am, just as I am

I want to love forever

To keep our world together

And be the best that I can be

Baby, every time the world

Caves in on me

And you say

Just as I am

You always treat me

The best that you can

You say you want me, need me

Love me baby

Just as I am, just as I am
