Take Me Or Leave Me Lyrics & Chords By Idina Menzel & Tracie Thoms

Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say
"Baby" so sweet
Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls
I can't help it baby
So be kind
And don't lose your mind
Just remember
That I'm your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage
Baby, let's have fun!
You are the one I choose
Folks would kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, now baby
So be mine
And don't waste my time
Cryin', "Oh Honeybear
Are you still my, my, my baby?"
(Don't you dare!)
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
No way, can I be what I'm not
But hey, don't you want your girl hot?
Don't fight, don't lose your head
Cause every night, who's in your bed?
Who, who's in your bed?
Kiss, pookie
It won't work, I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep
Baby, what's my sin?
Never quit, I follow through
I hate mess, but I love you
What to do with my impromptu baby?
So be wise
Cause this girl satisfies
You've got a prize, so don't compromise
You're one lucky baby
Take me for what I am
(A control freak)
Who I was meant to be
(A snob, yet over-attentive)
And if you give a damn
(A lovable, droll geek)
Take me baby or leave me
(An anal retentive!)
That's it! The straw that breaks my back
I quit, unless you take it back
Women, what is it about them?
Can't live with them or without them!
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
(Who I was meant to be)
And if you give a damn
(And if you give a damn you better)
Take me baby or leave me
(Oh take me baby, take me or leave me)
Take me baby
Or leave me
Guess I'm leaving
I'm gone!
