Take Me or Leave Me

I can see from the look in your eyes,
That I`m not at all what you want,
So your smile just boasts your lies,
Of what you`re deathly afraid to flaunt.

Telling your friends that I`m oh so pretty,
And that I`m way better than all the rest,
It`s funny, `cuz you can`t even take me,
If I`m not perfectly done up and dressed.

My clothes aren`t suiting your taste,
And my make`up isn`t just right,
I don`t have a small enough of a waist,
So we can`t leave the house tonight.

We`ll sit at home in this petty silence,
Trying to find something we can do,
My vulnerability isn`t hard to convince,
That we can be risky, try something new.

So we play a game straight from the heart,
Where we take the time to really talk,
And I tell you it straight, right from the start,
I can see it in your eyes that you`re in shock.

You thought you treated me just right,
That you weren`t capable of doing wrong,
And I have to say that up until tonight,
Your pride was standing tall and strong.

But for once, I`d like you to hold my hand,
And introduce to me to every friend you see,
Then maybe you will start to understand,
You either got to take me or leave me.
