Will you take me as I am
Or as much as you can stand?
It just takes me so long to tell you
It just takes me so long to tell you
Will you look between my words
For the part of me that you deserve?
It takes me so long to tell you
It just takes me so long to tell you
What I won't give
What I won't give
I get back from you
What I don't give
What I won't give
I get back from you
Will you take me someplace else
Where I'll be a stranger to myself?
It takes me so long to tell you
It just takes me so long to tell you
I can bend, but I can't break
'Cause there's not a lot for me to say
It takes me so long to tell you
It just takes me so long to tell you
What I won't give
What I won't give
I get back from you
What I don't give
What I won't give
I get back from you
Will you take me as I am
Or as much as you can stand?
It just takes me so long to tell you
It just takes me so long to tell you
What I won't give
What I won't give
I get back from you
What I don't give
What I won't give
I get back from you
Ooh
It takes me so
It takes me so long
It takes me so
It takes me so long
It takes me so
It takes me so long
To tell you
