There's something you must know
I'm so misunderstood
I am a special girl
Living in my special world

You know you can't change me
Rather you gotta see me for me boy
I'm doing the best I can
Try to understand

Accept me for who I am
No woman can take my place baby
I'm doing the best I can
So please don't give up on me
Accept me for who I am
Just try and understand
'Cause that's the way it is, babe

You are my soul, unique
My dream that's come to me
You know I can't change you
But then again, I don't want to

You seem to understand
When I say I need a loving hand
[skats]
My dream who only loves me for me

Accept me for who I am
No woman can take my place baby
I'm doing the best I can
So please don't give up on me
Accept me for who I am
Just try and understand
'Cause that's the way it is, babe
Accept me for who I am
No woman can take my place baby
I'm doing the best I can
So please don't give up on me
Accept me for who I am
Just try and understand
'Cause that's the way it is, babe

I try to make you see
Just what you do to me
I go crazy when I hear your voice or see your smile
Ooh, you don't know what you do to me
You make me wanna never have another,
Easy to mind

Accept me for...
Accept me for...

Accept me for who I am
No woman can take my place baby
I'm doing the best I can
So please don't give up on me
Accept me for who I am
Just try and understand
'Cause that's the way it is, babe

Accept me for who I am
No woman can take my place baby
I'm doing the best I can
So please don't give up on me
Accept me for who I am
Just try and understand
'Cause that's the way it is, babe
