Love Me As I Am . . . . Frank Loesser

I snore in my sleep, I'm always late for dinner. And my tablecloth doodling is notorious.
Oh but lovely one keep this romance glorious And love me as I am.
I dream while I drive, I linger in the shower. And there isn't much rhythm in that waltz of mine.
Oh but lovely one skip those little faults of mine And love me as I am.
I wear the wrong hats, I make the strangest coffee. And my repartee isn't so spectacular.
Oh but honey pie in the old vernacular Just love me as I am.
Don't try to make any changes, It wouldn't be worth your tears.
Yeah, just forget any changes, my wife's been trying for years.
I sing when I dream, I never cap the toothpaste. And my company manners are deplorable.
Oh but lovely one tell me I'm adorable And love me as I am.
I let the phone ring, I park my gum all over. And when playing bridge I can't put my mind to it.
Oh but honey pie get yourself resigned to it And love me as I am.
So what if it takes you a highball, to get into the mood to neck.
Sure, I could make you a highball, or I could just write you a check.
I talk a blue streak, I'm awfully fond of onions. And I sing like a barritone from China might.
Oh but otherwise honey pie I'm dynamite Love me as I am........... Oh please don't hurt me!
Just love me as I am.
