Take Me Just as I Am - Solomon Burke

Some folks think I’m a millionaire

But they don’t really know

All the bills, the burdens

And problems I bear

But only you alone

You’re the one that’s

Lyrics courtesy Top40db

Given me the courage and

Strength to go on and on

And for you, I sing this song

My pockets ain’t filled with money

The old car I drive runs funny

And I don’t have much to offer

A sweet fine girl like you

But here’s my heart, please take it

You see, I need your love

If I’m gonna make it

Come on, take me

Oh, darling, take me

Take me, take me as I am

Just as I am

Now listen to this

Wilson Pickett found himself

Someone to love, Joe Tex did too

And Otis Redding said

I’ve tried and I’ve tried

He found someone to love

But I believe there’s different

Strokes for different folks

And if you give your woman

What she wants when she wants it

How she wants it, where she wants it

And every time you think she wants it

You won’t ever have to

Worry about anything

And that’s why, darling, to you

I can stretch out my arms

Baby, I’m yours and yours alone

(Take me) take me, take me

(Take me) right now, right now

Just as I am, you got it, baby

I’m all yours, come on

Let me hear you say yeah (yeah)

Everybody, clap your hands one time

(Yeah, yeah, yeah) feel alright

Oh.

my, my, my, my, my

Makes you wanna moan a little bit
