Love Me Anyway
Don't assume what's goin' through my mind
Your guess would be wrong just about every time
What I'm feelin', what I'm goin' through
is so much about me and so little 'bout you
Yeah, I'm selfish, and I'm actin' absurd
I tell so much with just my eyes, never speakin' a word
Am I crazy? Am I a scared little girl?
At times it feels there's no one but me in this world
I know you want to please me
and I don't make it easy
But can you love me anyway?
Don't analyze the things that I say
It doesn't really matter anyway
'cause how I feel will change day to day
But can you hold me in your arms?
Just keep me safe from harm
I know I act like I don't give a darn
That stubborn streak is part of my charm
But can you love me anyway?
Can't you see that when I need you most is when I turn away
Expecting you to leave but just hoping that you'll stay
Don't let me down, don't break my heart, don't you give up on me
With patience, soon you'll break me down and set my lovin' free
I want you to know me
but I need you to show me
That you'll love me anyway
no matter what crazy things I might say
and you won't let me walk away
when I try to push you away
Can you just hang in there awhile?
Only you can make my heart smile
You know I really want you to stay
even if that's not what I say
So will you love me anyway?
