LOVE ME AS I AM
Frank Loesser (m) Louis Alter (l)

Frank Sinatra w Tommy Dorsey & his Orch   
rec May 28th 1941 New York


I snore in my sleep, I'm always late for dinner,
And my table cloth doosdling is notorious!
Ah, but lovely one, keep this romance glorious,
And love me as I am!

I dream while I drive, I linger in the shower,
And there isn't much rhythm in that waltz of mine!
Ah, but lovely one, skip those little faults of mine,
And love me as I am!

And don't try to make any changes,
It wouldn't be worth your tears!
Don't try to make any changes,
'Cause my mother's been tryin' for years!

I sing when I drink, I never cap the toothpaste,
And my company manners are deplorable!
Ah, but lovely one, tell me I'm adorable,
And love me as I am!
