Baby, don't turn out the light
I wanna see you look at me
Whisper only truth tonight
Not just promises and empty fantasies
I don't need a bed of roses
'Cause roses wither
away
All I really need is honesty
From someone with a strong heart
A gentle hand
Who'll take me as I am
Baby, I need for you to know
Just exactly how I feel
Fiery passions come and go
I'd trade a million pretty words
For one touch that is real
I don't need a bed of roses
'Cause roses wither away
All I really need is honesty
From someone with a strong heart
A gentle hand
Who'll take me as I am
From someone with a strong
heart
A gentle hand
Who'll take me as I am

"Take Me as I Am" is a song written by Bob DiPiero and Karen Staley, and recorded by American country music artist Faith Hill. It was released in September 1994 as the fourth and final single and title track from her album of the same name. The song peaked at number 2 on the Billboard country singles charts, behind Joe Diffie's "Pickup Man", and number 2 on the RPM country charts in Canada.
Critical reception[edit]
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Cleanup single from Hill's smash debut takes full advantage of her sunny style and impressive vocal range. Sure to please radio, this single should set the stage for her upcoming sophomore effort."[1]
Music video[edit]
A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by Deaton Flanigen, and premiered in late 1994.
