I Am Stripped Lyrics

Christina Aguilera I Am Stripped

I am timid and
I am oversensitive
I am a lioness
I am tired and defensive

You take me in your arms
And I fold into you
I have insecurities
You show me I am beautiful

Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It\'s not that I need it
Just need you to see me

Take me, free me
See through to the core of me
Take me, free me
There will be no more pretending

I am tempremental and
I have imperfections and
I am emotional
I am unpredictable
I am naked
I am vulnerable
I am a woman
I am opening up to you

Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It\'s not that I\'m near
Just need you to see me

Take me, free me
See through to the core of me
Take me, free me
There will be no more pretending

Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands
I\'m asking you to take me just the way that I am

Please lay down your heart
Do you know me?
Make me feel safe from harm

Oh just,
Take me, free me
See through to the core of me
Take me, free me
There will be no more pretending

I am tempremental and
I have imperfections and
I am emotional
There\'ll be no more pretending
