I Hope You Like Me As I Am



I hope you like the way I love, there's nothing more to tend.
If that's not enough for you please leave and let me wend.
I hope you like the way I dance, there's nothing more to prove.
If that's not enough for you please leave and let me move.
I hope you like the way I kiss, there's nothing more to show.
If that's not enough for you please leave and let me go.
I hope you like the way I sing, there's nothing more to grant.
If that's not enough for you please leave and let me chant.
I hope you like the way I write, there's nothing more to note.
If that's not enough for you please leave and let me gloat.
I hope you like the way I cook, there's nothing more to brew.
If that's not enough for you please leave and let me stew.
I hope you like the way I talk, there's nothing more to say.
If that's not enough for you please leave and let me stay.
I hope you like the way I fuss, there's nothing more to share.
If that's not enough for you please leave and let me care.
I hope you like the way I draw, there's nothing more to fetch.
If that's not enough for you please leave and let me sketch.
I hope you like the way I am, there's nothing more to give.
If that's not enough for you please leave and let me live.
