Letra Take me or leave me Original Broadway Cast

Take me or leave me

MAUREENEvery single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say,"Baby's so sweet"
Every since puberty
Everybody stares at meBoys-girls
I can't help it baby
So be kindDon't lose your mind
Just remember that I'm your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage
Baby - let's have fun!
You are the one I chooseFolks'd kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, baby
So be mine or don't waste my timeCryin' - "Honeybear - Are you still me baby?"
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
No way - Can I be what I'm not
But hey - Don't you want your girl hot!Don't fight - Don't lose your head
Cause every night- Who's in your bed?Who's in your bed?
Kiss Pookie!JOANNEIt won't work
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep
Baby what's my sin?
Never quit - I follow through
I hate mess - but I love you
What to do
With my impromptu baby
So be wise
This girl satisfiesYou've got a prize but dont compromiseYou're one lucky baby
Take me for what I amMAUREEN
A control freakJOANNE
Who I was meant to beMAUREEN
A snob - yet over-attentiveJOANNE
And if you give a damnMAUREEN
A loveable, droll geekJOANNE
Take me baby or leave meMAUREEN
And anal retentiveBOTHThat's it!JOANNE
The straw that breaks my backMAUREEN
I quitJOANNE
Unless you take it backBOTHWomenMAUREEN
What is it about them?BOTHCan't live -With them -Or without them!
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby
Or leave me
Guess I'm leavin'I'm gone!
