Rent movie - Take me or leave me lyrics

rate me

Maureen:

every single day,

i walk down the street

i hear people say 'baby so sweet'

ever since puberty

everybody stares at me

boys girls i can't help it baby

so be kind and don'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 or leave me

Maureen:

a tiger in a cage

can never see the sun

this diva needs her stage baby

lets have fun

you are the one i choose

folks will kill to fill your shoes

you love the lime light to now baby

so be mine but don't waste my time

cryin' 'honey bear are you still my, my, my 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?

oh, don't fight, don't loose your head

'cause every night who's in your bed?

who?

who's in your bed?

spoken:kiss pookie

Joanne:

it won't work

i look before i leap

i love margins and discipline

i make list in my sleep baby

whats my sin?

never quit

i follow through

i hate mess but i love you

what do with my improptu baby?

so be wise 'cause this girl satisfies

you got a prize who don't compomise

your one lucky baby

Joanne: take me for what i am

Maureen: a control freak

Joanne: who i was meant to be

Maureen: a snob yet over attentive

Joanne: and if you give a damn

Maureen: a loveable droll geek

Joanne: take me baby or leave me

Maureen: a anal retentave

both: thats it

Joanne: the straw that breaks my back

both: i quit

Joanne: unless you take it back

both:women

Maureen: what is it about them?

both: can't live with them or without them

chorus:

both: take me for what i am

Joanne: who i was meant to be

Maureen: who i was meant to be

and if you give a damn

Joanne: and if you give a damn then

take me baby, or leave me

Maureen:take me baby, take me or la-la-la-la-la-leave me

both: take me baby or leave me

spoken: guess i'm leaving i'm gone!
