Take Me (Just As I Am) Lyrics By Solomon Burke

    some folks think i’m a millionaire
    but they don’t really know
    all the bills the burdens
    and problems i bear

    but only you alone
    you’re the one that’s
    lyrics courtesy top40db
    given me the courage and
    strength to go on and on
    and for you i sing this song

    my pockets ain’t filled with money
    the old car i drive runs funny
    and i don’t have much to offer
    a sweet fine girl like you

    but here’s my heart please take it
    you see i need your love
    if i’m gonna make it

    come on take me
    oh darling take me
    take me take me as i am
    just as i am

    now listen to this
    wilson pickett found himself
    someone to love joe tex did too
    and otis redding said
    i’ve tried and i’ve tried
    he found someone to love

    but i believe there’s different
    strokes for different folks
    and if you give your woman
    what she wants when she wants it
    how she wants it where she wants it
    and every time you think she wants it
    you won’t ever have to
    worry about anything

    and that’s why darling to you
    i can stretch out my arms
    baby i’m yours and yours alone

    take me take me take me
    take me right now right now
    just as i am you got it baby
    i’m all yours come on

    let me hear you say yeah yeah
    everybody clap your hands one time
    yeah yeah yeah feel alright

    oh my my my my my
    makes you wanna moan a little bit
