Connie Smith
"Just for What I Am"

(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)

Blue ain't just a word it's a feeling
A feeling of loneliness that I can feel right now
Love has looked at me but tried to change me
I wished that love would take me just for what I am.

Just for what I am, I want someone to love me
Someone who won't expect me to feel like that old mem'ry
Just for what they see, just for being me
I want someone to love me just for what I am.

Cry ain't just a sound it's a sadness
A sadness that lives with me and follows me around
Love wants me to be someone I can't be
I wished that love would take me just for what I am.

Just for what I am, I want someone to love me
Someone who won't expect me to feel like that old mem'ry
Just for what they see, just for being me
I want someone to love me just for what I am.

I want someone to love me just for what I am...
