INTRO [[   Every single day
           I walk down the street
           I hear people say,
           "Baby's so sweet"

           Ever since puberty
           Everybody stares at me
           Boys - girls
           I can't help it baby    ]]

CHORUS [[  Take me for what I am
           Who I was meant to be

           Take me baby or leave me     ]]

INTRO [[   A tiger in a cage
           Can never see the sun
           This diva needs her stage
           Baby - let's have fun!

           You are the one I choose
           Folks'd kill to fill your shoes
           You love the limelight too, baby     ]]

           (Dm, Dm7*, A#, Am, Gm, Am, A#, C)

INTRO [[   I look before I leap
           I love margins and discipline
           I make lists in my sleep
           Baby what's my sin?
 
           Never quit - I follow through
           I hate mess - but I love you
           What to do
           With my impromptu baby     ]]

           The straw that breaks my back
           I quit

           What is it about them?
           Can't live -
