Christina Aguilera - I Am

I am timid And I am oversensitive 

I am a lioness I am tired and defensive 

You take me in your arms And I fold into you 

I have insecurities You show me I am beautiful 

Love me or leave me just 

take it or leave it It's not that I'm needy just need you to see me 

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me 

Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending  

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  

Love me or leave me, just take it or leave it 

It's not that I'm needy, just need you to see me 

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me 

Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending 

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  

Oh just take me, free me, see through to the core of me 

Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending  

I am temperamental And I have imperfections And 

I am emotional There'll be no more pretending  

I Am
