The Streets
Take Me as I Am
[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
A vision that hurts and a skirt that's clinging
Suspicion fought with thirst, but the thirst was winning
I'll regret this in the morning, shots of the rye
But that's future me, I'm glad I'm not that guy
With your hand above the fold, you’re a scandal in the press
There's powers in your flowers, you’re a damsel in distress

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
Take me as I am (Ay)
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go

[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
Melodies of love, all selling the dream
Everyone in the club is smelling their keys
Men are weird at the close of the PM
Just ask a pretty girl to show you her DMs
Thirsty at the bar, blurry to the brink
Ghost me at the bar, you'll be thirsty with a drink
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Mike Skinner]
You're messing with my mind, and my feelings in your eyes
It's a blessing in disguise, but it's really well disguised
Regret this in the morning, shots of the rye
But that's future me, I'm glad I'm not that guy (Run the flow)

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
Take me as I am
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am (Ay)
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go

[Verse 4: Mike Skinner]
A vision that hurts and a skirt that's clinging
Suspicion fought with thirst, but the thirst was winning
I'll regret this in the morning, shots of the rye
But that's future me, I'm glad I'm not that guy
With your hand above the fold, you’re a scandal in the press
There's powers in your flowers, you’re a damsel in distress
Take me as I am
Or watch me as I go (Run the flow)
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
(Run the flow) Take me as I am
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am (Ay)
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go

[Outro]
Y'all
Yo, Selecta, turn up the music, please
Turn up the music, Selecta
Security, up here, right now
Security, up here
Turn on the [?] light so we can see what's happened
Security, up here, right now
