Come As You Are - Patti LaBelle

You’re a victim of the life you lead

In your heart of hearts you can’t concede

That you could be so much more

Can’t breathe in this atmosphere

You’re afraid, you’re gonna disappear into yourself

And become someone else

Come as you are, I’ll be here for you

Come as you are, let me adore you

My open arms are waiting for you

All you have to do is come as you are

Doesn’t matter how you paint your face

There’s a beauty that you can’t erase

That mirrors the heart of your soul

Who says angels aren’t supposed to cry

Who says that you have to let your life slip by

And never reveal the passion you feel

Come as you are, I’ll be here for you

Come as you are, let me adore you

My open arms are waiting for you

All you have to do is come as you are, as you are

You’ve got to gather up your confidence

And wear it like a halo

Open up your eyes so you can see yourself

I will always be right here for you

Just show me what’s real

Try to reveal the passion you feel

Come as you are

Come as you are, I’ll be right here waiting for you

All you got to do is come as you are

Come as you are

Come as you are, I will be here for you

All you have to do is come as you are

Come as you are

Just come on, come on here
