(Ron Wood, Rod Stewart, Ian McLagan, 1973)

Take me like you find me

Don't try to change me

You know better than that

Take me as you see me

Don't try to hide me

I ain't used to that

Shout it out loud

Put a bomb in a crowd

If I got something to say

There's nothing that can stop me

I can't let it lay

If I have to fall on my head

every night of the week

It's gonna be my fault,

no one else

If everything goes wrong

when I'm singing my song

It's gonna be my fault

and no one else

There ain't nothing you can do about it

I've sat and thought it over,

don't try to help me

I was just born this way,

yes I was born this way

I ain't gonna change for nobody,

never, never gonna change

So if everything goes wrong

and I drink all night

It's gonna be my fault

and no one else

People don't change just over night

It ain't natural, so don't

break it kindly,

don't hypnotize me

I just won't understand

Take me like you find me

Don't try to change me

You know better than that

oh don't you know better than that

oh don't you know better than that

Say I'm just a fool, that's alright

Never try to change me

or rearrange me, oh yeah
