“The Way I Am” by Ingrid Michaelson Lyrics
If you were falling, then I would catch you. If you need a light, I’d find a match.
‘Cause I love the way you say “good morning”. And you take me the way I am.
If you are chilly, here take my sweater. If your head is aching, I’ll make it better.
‘Cause I love the way you call me “baby”. And you take me the way I am.
And I’ll buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair. And sew on patches to all you tear.
‘Cause I love you more than I could ever promise. And you take me the way I am. You take me the way I am. You take me the way I am.
