I met a man
In the can
Wouldn't you know he was going my way?
We talked till four
He talked more
I was afraid I'd turn and say:

"Love me for what I am
Not what I try to be
Love me for what I am, I am...
Someone imperfectly me."

The lights were low
Don't you know
He gave a phony home address
Then, after weeks
Guess who speaks:

"Darling," he says, and I say "Yes
Love me for what I am
Not what I try to be
Love me for what I am, I am...
A person who likes to lie too much
I try to much
To impress other people
Often my inferiors."

?Could you like a girl like that?
Could you like a girl like that?
Would you hold her in your arms?
Could you like a girl like that?
Could you like a girl like that?
Could you like a girl like that?"	

We lay in bed
He plays dead
I play a game with sound and light
Don't need a quiz
I'm all his
"Darling," he says, "we might survive the night
Love me for what I am
Not what I try to be
Love me for what I am, I am
Someone imperfectly me
Someone imperfectly me."
