Don't try and understand me, you never could do that

Ah, and in the end you'd wind up being hurt

I'm a man with too many problems that keep pounding on my brain



So if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth

(if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)



I don't pretend to be a saint, my sins they are many

But there's no-one perfect in this universe

And though you think I'm weird, don't try and change me dear



'cause if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth

(if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)



Hear a howling wind outside my door, there's restlessness within

Oh, I'm like a raincloud that one day may burst

We both know I'll be leavin' and if one little tear you grieve



Ah, it's all right 'cause that's all I'm really worth

(it's all right 'cause that's all I'm really worth)



And if you think about me in your lonesome hours

Ah, and on your lips there's a sweet word and not a curse

Ah, then I'll be comin' back one day when my wandering is over



Ah, if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth

(if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)

Ah, if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth

(if you want me you'll take me for what I'm worth)
