The Way I Am

Friday I woke up with The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson in my head. As often happens, there were only a few words in my memory: sweater and baby. Definitely not enough for my lyric server (or maybe it would have been--I should try it!). But that morning I drove to St. Paul to pick up Sam to bring him here for the weekend, and this song was on a couple of times.

 

If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match
'Cause I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching, I'll make it better
'Cause I love the way you call me, baby
And you take me the way I am

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear
'Cause I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am
You take me the way I am, you take me the way I am
