JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS - AS I AM Lyrics

OOOh, in another place and timeOOOh, I will be the vision in your mindI wanted to be everything you wantedI wanted to be everything you neededI wanted what I saidTo bring to you laughterI wanted what I did to make you smileBut in a perfect worldThere's no perfectionCause in a world of dreamsYou're only dreamin'I want it to be realI just can't take itAs I amTake me as I amNow I'm only flesh and bloodOh I wish that you couldLove me as I amYou thought you had meTucked inside your pocketYou thought you had it under your controlYou can put my smilin' picture in a locketBut you can't put a chain around my soulBut in a perfect worldThere's no perfectionCause in a world of dreamsYou're only dreamin'Don't make me feel like I can't make itAs I amTake me as I amNow I'm only flesh and bloodOh I wish that you couldLove me as I amAs I amNow I'm doin' the best I canTry to understandAnd love me as I amOooo, in another place and timeOooo, I will be the vision in your mindAs I amTake me as I amNow I'm only flesh and bloodOh I wish that you couldLove me as I amAs I amNow I'm doin' the best I canTry to understandNow I know God has a planAnd I guess that's why she made meAs I am
