If you were falling
then I would catch you
you need a light
I'll find a match
cause I love the way you say good morning
and you take me the way I am
If you are chilly
here take my sweater
you're head is aching
I'll make it better
cause I love the way you call me baby
and u take me the way I am
I'd buy you Rogaine
when you start losing all your hair
sew on patches
to all you tear
cause I love you more than I could ever promise
and you take me the way I am
you take me the way I am
you take me the way I am
