	Story Behind the Song This song was written 25 years ago as a message to my wife of 28 years. The lyrics mean to love me as I am and I will do the same with you without trying to make either of us change from who we really are. This song took about 4 hours to write and only about 4 hours to record with no more than 5 or 6 takes. Lyrics Take Me As I Am by Ronald G. Turner I. On Tuesday we were so in love We kissed and touched like children play Angry grown up words soon spoiled the fun My passion left me and I felt that love was gone Hook: If you love me, take me as I am If you love me, take me as I am You can’t change me and I can’t change you II. Our wedding was six years ago People and gifts, flash and show Though our honeymoon has passed Our happiness wasn’t in that champagne glass Hook: If you love me, take me as I am If you love me, take me as I am You can’t change me and I can’t change you Bridge: Can we face our ups and downs and stay in love Oh, it’s so hard Can we make or break this love Let’s make peace within ourselves II. Why do little things upset us so I want to stay and I want to go We should be having an affair with our affair People watch us but love will make them stare Hook: If you love me, take me as I am If you love me, take me as I am You can’t change me and I can’t change you Take me, as I am Take me as I am
