Like a picture in a magazine Not so perfect as the image might seem Understand, my baby takes me as I am Pictures can tell you a thousand words But she told me something that I never heard Understand, my baby takes me as I am
If I am acting like a jerk If I am spending all my time on work She always seems to understand
People know us as a perfect pair They'd think different if they smelled my hair Understand, my baby takes me as I am
If I haven't shared for weeks When my laundry basket starts to reek She always seems to understand
Like the cover of your favorite book The outside is tattered But the inside I still understand My baby takes me, my baby loves me My baby takes me as I am
