Love Me for Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's been three days
You come around here like you know me
Your stuff at my place
Next thing you know, you'll be using my toothpaste
Step up, sit down
Get ready, let me tell you who's the boss now
Stay here, get out
Every time I turn around, you're in my face

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't care where you think you've been
And how you're getting over
If you think you've got me down
Just wait, it gets much colder

[Chorus]
Here I am
Perfect as I'm ever gonna be
You'll see
Love me for me
Stick around
I'm not the kind of girl you wanna leave
You'll see
Love me for me
[Verse 2]
Shut up, come back
No, I didn't really mean to say that
I'm mixed up, so what?
Yeah, you want me, so you're messed up too
I love you, I hate you
If you only knew what I've been through

[Pre-Chorus]
My head is spinning, but my heart is in the right place
Sometimes it has to have itself a little earthquake

[Chorus]
Here I am
Perfect as I'm ever gonna be
You'll see
Love me for me
Stick around
I'm not the kind of girl you wanna leave
You'll see
Love me for me

[Bridge]
I've been waiting all my life to finally find you
Just so I can push you away
And when you're crawlin' over broken glass to get to me
That's when I'll let you stay
Uh!
[Chorus]
Here I am
Perfect as I'm ever gonna be
You'll see
Love me for me
Stick around
I'm not the kind of girl you wanna leave
You'll see
Love me for me
Love me for me (Come back, come back)
Whoa, oh
Here I am
Perfect as I'm ever gonna be
You'll see
Love me for me (Love me for me)
Stick around
I'm not the kind of girl you wanna leave
You'll see
Love me for me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
