William Finn
Love Me For What I Am
[MARVIN]
Lest I forget
She will always remind me
Of how we two met...

[WIFE]
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 me a phony home address

[GOLDBERG and SWEETHEART]
Oh...
