Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's just me and you
They couldn't see what I see in you, yeah
Cause I believe in you
You're the only one I choose

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Even though you break my heart
Even though you break my heart, baby
I know what we are, our love's too young
Even though you break my heart, my love
I'mma need you, I'mma need you, I'mma need you, yeah

[Chorus]
Show me your broken heart and all your scars
Baby I'll take, I'll take, I'll take, I'll take you as you are
I'll take you as you are, yeah
Show me your broken heart and all your flaws
Baby I'll take, I'll take, I'll take, I'll take you as you are
I'll take you as you are, yeah

[Verse 2]
It's just you and I
Ooh yeah
Just a phase in our little lie, yeah
We can sex all night
Ooh whoa
I see the want to in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But you know I'll break your heart, your heart
Cause I know what we are, my love's too young
Even though I'll break your heart, your heart
I'mma need you, I'mma need you, I'mma need you, yeah

[Chorus]
Show me your broken heart and all your scars
Baby I'll take, I'll take, I'll take, I'll take you as you are
I'll take you as you are
Show me your broken heart to know your flaws
Baby I'll take, I'll take, I'll take, I'll take you as you are
I'll take you as you are, yeah, yeah

[Interlude]
Oh oh, hey-ey
You know it, you know I know it, baby
No, no, yeah, you know it, you know I know it, baby
You know, you know, you know
You know, know, oh
You know, know, baby

[Outro]
As I am
Baby, won't you take me as I am?
As I am, as I am, as I am
Baby, won't you take me as I am?
As I am, as I am
As I am, baby, won't you take me as I am?
As I am, as I am
As I am, baby, won't you take me as I am?
As I am, as I am
