Take Me The Way I Am

The Petersens perform a tender love song about unconditional acceptance and care in a relationship. The lyrics describe small acts of kindness—catching someone who falls, offering a sweater, easing a headache—and a commitment to love through aging and imperfections. While the song expresses deep affection and mutual acceptance, it does not reference God, Jesus, faith, or any Christian themes. It is a secular love song, not a Christian song.

If you were falling then I would catch you

You need a light and I'd find a match

'Cause I love the way you say good morning

An' you take me the way I am


If you are chilly, here take my sweater

Your head is aching, I'll make it better

'Cause I love the way you call me baby

An' you take me the way I am


I'll buy you Rogaine* when you start losin' all your hair

Sew on patches to all you tear

'Cause I love you more than I could ever promise

An' you take me the way I am


Oh, an' I love you more than I could ever promise

An' you take me the way I am

Yes, you take me the way I am
