Joan Jett - As I Am lyrics

Oh, in another place and time, oh, I will be the vision in your mind I wanted to be everything you wanted I wanted to be everything you needed I wanted what I said To bring to you laughter I wanted what I did to make you smile But in a perfect world There's no perfection 'Cause in a world of dreams You're only dreaming I want it to be real I just can't take it As I am Take me as I am Now I'm only flesh and blood Oh I wish that you could Love me as I am You thought you had me Tucked inside your pocket You thought you had it under your control You can put my smiling picture in a locket But you can't put a chain around my soul But in a perfect world There's no perfection 'Cause in a world of dreams You're only dreamin' Don't make me feel like I can't make it As I am Take me as I am Now I'm only flesh and blood Oh I wish that you could Love me as I am As I am Now I'm doing the best I can Try to understand And love me as I am Oh, in another place and time Oh, I will be the vision in your mind As I am Take me as I am Now I'm only flesh and blood Oh I wish that you could Love me as I am As I am Now I'm doing the best I can Try to understand Now I know God has a plan And I guess that's why she made me As I am
