As I Am

(joan jett/desmond child)



Oooh, in another place and time oooh, 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



Oooo, in another place and time

Oooo, 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
