I wore the clothes you liked, you said they gave me that look
I even tried to like the food I know you like to cook
I parted my hair on the left I carried your arm on the right
I slept late in the morning and I stayed out late at night.

I can't give anymore of my soul away
And still look myself in the mirror everyday
I can't change anymore of what makes me be myself
And still have enough left not to be somebody else
I'm not demanding as a man
Just asking you - love me for what I am.

I tried hard not to say the things you don't like to hear
And when to you it was apropos I nibbled on your ear
I opened the door up for you I kept my big mouth shut
Well I've been going down while you've been going up.

I can't give anymore of my soul away
And still look myself in the mirror everyday
I can't change anymore of what makes me be myself
And still have enough left not to be somebody else
I'm not demanding as a man
Just asking you - love me for what I am.

I can't give anymore of my soul away
And still look myself in the mirror everyday
I can't change anymore of what makes me be myself
And still have enough left not to be somebody else
I'm not demanding as a man
Just asking you - love me for what I am.


Hummm... love me for what I am...
Oh, love me for what I am
