Woman, you don't understand

Oh, I'm just a man

Baby, that's all I am

That's all I have ever been

And you, you don't understand

Oh, I've gotta live



You make it so hard to do

you know you hurt me, baby

Take me, take me as I am

Take me as I am, Baby

Ooh, ooh, take me as I am



All I believe is that you've taken me

For some kind of dream

I don't want to wait too long

For my love is in the way to see it

I don't wanna lose you, baby

But your love is in the way



Ya gotta listen

It's time to listen to me

You, you don't realize

Oh, I've gotta live

You make it so hard to bear

It may be hard for me to go on



And I know, I know, I know

You'll understand

I'm just a man, baby

That's all I am

Don't make it hard on me



Just take me, take me as I am, baby

Take me as I am, baby

Take me as I am, oh

Take me as I am, Baby

Oh, take me as I am now
