Christina Aguilera - I Am lyrics

I am timid and I am oversensitive
I am a lioness i am tired and defensive
You take me in your arms and I fall into you
I have insecurities
You show me I am beautiful

Love me or leave me just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me

Take me, free me
See through to the core of me
Take me, free me
There will be no more pretending m-m-m-m

I am temperamental and I have imperfections
And I am emotional i am unpredictable
I am naked i am vulnerable
I am a woman i am opening up to you

Love me or leave me just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me

Take me, free me
See through to the core of me
Take me, free me
There will be no more pretending

Now I stand before you with
My heart in my hands
I'm asking you to take me just
The way that I am please lay down your arms
Do you know me? Make me feel safe from harm

Oh, just take me, free me
See through to the core of me (See through)
Take me, free me
There will be no more pretending

(Take me, free me) I am temperamental
(See through to the core of
Me) And I have imperfections
(Take me, free me) And I am emotional
There'll be no more pretending mmhmm
