Like a picture in a magazine
Not so perfect as the image might seem
Understand, my baby takes me as I am
Pictures can tell you a thousand words
But she told me something that I never heard
Understand, my baby takes me as I am

If I am acting like a jerk
If I am spending all my time on work
She always seems to understand

People know us as a perfect pair
They'd think different if they smelled my hair
Understand, my baby takes me as I am

If I haven't shared for weeks
When my laundry basket starts to reek
She always seems to understand

Like the cover of your favorite book
The outside is tattered
But the inside I still understand
My baby takes me, my baby loves me
My baby takes me as I am
