[Verse 1]
Gonna stay in bed today
'Cause I can't stand the light
Don't know why I get so down
I won't be much fun tonight
And I can't believe
You still want to hang around me

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not so pretty all the time
You don't mind
To you, it's alright

[Chorus]
As I am is how you take me
Never try to push or make me different
When I talk, you listen to me
As I am is how you want me and
I know I've found the piece that's missin'
I'm lookin' at him

[Verse 2]
I'm not the girl you think you see
But maybe that's a lie
You almost know me better than
Me, myself, and I
Don't know a lot of things
But I know what I got

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not so perfect every day
I don't have to try
'Cause it all falls into place
(It all falls into place)

[Chorus]
As I am is how you take me
Never try to push or make me different
When I talk, you listen to me
As I am is how you want me and
I know I've found the piece that's missin'
I'm lookin' at him

[Bridge]
Face to face, eye to eye
You're standin' there
Feels good on the inside
I don't mind, I don't care
You're standin' there
Seein' me for the first time
Seein' me for the first time
Seein' me for the first time

[Chorus]
As I am is how you take me
Never try to push or make me different
When I talk, you listen to me
As I am is how you want me and
I know I've found the piece that's missin'
(Found the piece that's missin')
I'm lookin' at him

[Outro]
Found the piece that's missin'
Take me as I am
When I talk, you listen
Take me as I am (Yeah)
Found the piece that's missin'
Take me as I am

Miley Cyrus

Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus, November 23rd 1992) is an American singer, songwriter and actress, as well as the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. She was named Destiny Hope Cyrus at birth but was given the nickname “Smiley” because she was always grinning. The name stuck and she legally changed it in 2008.

Her singing career started simultaneously with her role in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana, which made her a teen idol. She was featured on the 2006 soundtrack of Hannah Montana. After signing a recording contract with Hollywood Records in 2007, she released Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus. The album served as both the series' soundtrack and Cyrus' debut studio album.

With the 2010 release of Can’t Be Tamed, Cyrus developed a more mature image with a dance-oriented sound. The album caused controversy due to the lyrics and music video of Can’t Be Tamed.
