(joan jett/desmond child)
Oooh, in another place and time oooh, i will be the vision in your mind
I wanted to be everything you wanted
I wanted to be everything you needed
I wanted what i said
To bring to you laughter
I wanted what i did to make you smile
But in a perfect world
There's no perfection
Cause in a world of dreams
You're only dreaming
I want it to be real
I just can't take it
As i am
Take me as i am
Now i'm only flesh and blood
Oh i wish that you could
Love me as i am
You thought you had me
Tucked inside your pocket
You thought you had it under your control
You can put my smiling picture in a locket
But you can't put a chain around my soul
But in a perfect world
There's no perfection
Cause in a world of dreams
You're only dreamin'
Don't make me feel like i can't make it
As i am
Take me as i am
Now i'm only flesh and blood
Oh i wish that you could
Love me as i am
As i am
Now i'm doing the best i can
Try to understand
And love me as i am
Oooo, in another place and time
Oooo, i will be the vision in your mind
As i am
Take me as i am
Now i'm only flesh and blood
Oh i wish that you could
Love me as i am
As i am
Now i'm doing the best i can
Try to understand
Now i know god has a plan
And i guess that's why she made me
As i am
