Take Me as I Am Lyrics
The radiator says 95
But I ain't felt a drop of heat all night
here in the motel, there's no telling me nothing
I come here five nights a week
to clean the toilets and change these sheets
my name's Maggie Durant
baby ain't that something
If you want it
come and get it
if you want it, come and get it but understand
you take me as i am
i know these corners, i know these streets
the curb-side prophet there yelling at me
he can save my soul for a drink and a dollar
yeah he's yelling about my tattoos
but we all live with the scars we choose
they might hurt like hell, but they all make us stronger
If you want it
come and get it
if you want it, come and get it but understand
you take me as i am
I'm slow to trust but I'm quick to love
i push too hard and i give too much
i ain't saying I'm perfect, but i promise I'm worth it
now I'm standing here in front of you
tell me boy, what you gonna do?
cause my name is Maggie Durant, i said, ain't that something
If you want it
come and get it
if you want it, come and get it but understand
you take me as i am
If you want it
come and get it
if you want it, come and get it but understand
you take me as i am
But I ain't felt a drop of heat all night
here in the motel, there's no telling me nothing
I come here five nights a week
to clean the toilets and change these sheets
my name's Maggie Durant
baby ain't that something
come and get it
if you want it, come and get it but understand
you take me as i am
the curb-side prophet there yelling at me
he can save my soul for a drink and a dollar
yeah he's yelling about my tattoos
but we all live with the scars we choose
they might hurt like hell, but they all make us stronger
come and get it
if you want it, come and get it but understand
you take me as i am
i push too hard and i give too much
i ain't saying I'm perfect, but i promise I'm worth it
now I'm standing here in front of you
tell me boy, what you gonna do?
cause my name is Maggie Durant, i said, ain't that something
come and get it
if you want it, come and get it but understand
you take me as i am
come and get it
if you want it, come and get it but understand
you take me as i am

"but we all live with the scars we choose they might hurt like hell, but they all make us stronger"
I love those lines. Great song!
To me she is telling a potenial boyfriend that she is not perfect, she has flaws, she doesn't live the luxurious life, but if you give her a chance she will be all you need in the end as long as you accept her for who she is. Do not try to change her. I think that this is every girls song.
"I ain't sayin' I'm perfect, but I promise I'm worth it." That can be said for all of us.
