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
