[Maureen:]
Every single day,
I walk down the street
I hear people say ´baby so sweet´
Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys girls I can´t help it baby
So be kind and don´t lose your mind
Just remember that I´m your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby
Or leave me
Take me or leave me
[Maureen:]
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage baby
Lets have fun
You are the one I choose
Folks will kill to fill your shoes
You love the lime light to now baby
So be mine but don´t waste my time
Cryin´ ´honey bear are you still my, my, my baby?´
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
No way, can I be what I´m not
But hey, don´t you want your girl hot?
Oh, don´t fight, don´t loose your head
´cause every night who´s in your bed?
Who?
Who´s in your bed?
[Spoken:] kiss pookie
[Joanne:]
It won´t work
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make list in my sleep baby
Whats my sin?
Never quit
I follow through
I hate mess but I love you
What do with my improptu baby?
So be wise ´cause this girl satisfies
You got a prize but don´t compromise
Your one lucky baby
[Joanne:] take me for what I am
[Maureen:] a control freak
[Joanne:] who I was meant to be
[Maureen:] a snob yet over attentive
[Joanne:] and if you give a damn
[Maureen:] a loveable droll geek
[Joanne:] take me baby or leave me
[Maureen:] a anal retentave
[Both:] thats it
[Joanne:] the straw that breaks my back
[Both:] I quit
[Joanne:] unless you take it back
[Maureen:] women what is it about them?
[Both:] can´t live with them or without them
[Both:] take me for what I am
[Joanne:] who I was meant to be
[Maureen:] who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
[Joanne:] and if you give a damn then
Take me baby, or leave me
[Maureen:] take me baby, take me or la-la-la-la-la-leave me
[Both:] take me baby or leave me
[Spoken:] guess I´m leaving I´m gone!
Every single day,
I walk down the street
I hear people say ´baby so sweet´
Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys girls I can´t help it baby
So be kind and don´t lose your mind
Just remember that I´m your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby
Or leave me
Take me or leave me
