Will you take me as I am,
Or as much as you can stand?
It just takes me so long to tell you.
It just takes me so long to tell you.
Will you look between my words
For the part of me that you deserve?
It takes me so long to tell you.
It just takes me so long to tell you.
What I won't give,
What I won't give,
I get back from you.
What I don't give,
What I won't give,
I get back from you.
Will you take me someplace else
Where I'll be a stranger to myself?
It takes me so long to tell you.
It just takes me so long to tell you.
I can bend, but I can't break
`Cause there's not a lot for me to say.
It takes me so long to tell you.
It just takes me so long to tell you.
What I won't give,
What I won't give,
I get back from you.
What I don't give,
What I won't give,
I get back from you.
Will you take me as I am,
Or as much as you can stand?
It just takes me so long to tell you.
It just takes me so long to tell you.
What I won't give,
What I won't give,
I get back from you.
What I don't give,
What I won't give,
I get back from you.
Ooh,
It takes me so,
It takes me so long.
It takes me so,
It takes me so long.
It takes me so,
It takes me so long
To tell you.
Or as much as you can stand?
It just takes me so long to tell you.
It just takes me so long to tell you.
Will you look between my words
For the part of me that you deserve?
It takes me so long to tell you.
It just takes me so long to tell you.
