Razor (Love Me As I Am)

(album: Norma Deloris Egstrom From Jamestown, North Dakota - 1972)

I'd rather wear like a razor
Than to sing like spun gold, oh so fine
Rather drink bitter liquor
Than to sip your sweet brandies or wine

When you give me loving
Make it hot, make it strong down the line
You can love me, like I am, or goodbye
You can love me, like I am, or goodbye

Rather see the worst coming
Than to bury my head 'neath the sand
Rather be hurt and helpless
Than to grabble before any man

So if you want me darling
Show me that you understand
You can love me, like I am, or goodbye
You can love me, as I am, or goodbye

Rather have me no sugar
Than to live someplace where I'm not free
Rather call on the devil
Than to weep for my sad destiny

So if you want me, darling
Show me that our heads agree
You can love me, let it be, or goodbye
You can love me, like I am, or goodbye

Love me, like I am, or goodbye
You can love me, like I am, or goodbye
You can love me, like I am, or goodbye
