[Verse 1]
I am timid
And I am oversensitive
I am a lioness
I am tired and defensive
You take me in your arms
And I fall into you
I have insecurities
You show me I am beautiful

[Pre-Chorus]
Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me

[Chorus]
Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending
Mmmm

[Verse 2]
I am temperamental
And I have imperfections
And I am emotional
I am unpredictable
I am naked
I am vulnerable
I am a woman
I am opening up to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me

[Chorus]
Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

[Bridge]
Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands
I'm asking you to take me just the way that I am
Please lay down your arms
Do you know me? Make me feel safe from harm

[Chorus]
Oh, just take me, free me, see through to the core of me
(See through)
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

[Outro]
(Take me, free me) I am temperamental
(See through to the core of me) And I have imperfections
(Take me, free me) And I am emotional
There'll be no more pretending
Mmhmm
