Mercedes (Rachel):
Yeah (Yeah-hey)
Oohhh (Ooh-hoo)
Ohhh

Rachel:
Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say, “Baby’s so sweet”

Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls
I can’t help it baby

So be kind and don’t lose your mind
Just remember
That I’m your baby

Mercedes:
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be

Rachel:
And if you give a [bad word] 

Rachel and Mercedes:
Take me baby or leave me

Rachel:
Take me baby or leave me

Mercedes:
tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage
Baby, let’s have fun!

You are the one I choose
Folks would kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, now baby

So be mine and don’t waste my time
Cryin’, “Oh Honeybear are you still my, my, my baby?”

Rachel:
Take me for what I am

Mercedes:
Who I was meant to be

Rachel and Mercedes:
And if you give a [bad word] 

Mercedes:
Take me baby or leave me

No way, can I be what I’m not

Rachel:
But hey, don’t you want your girl hot?

Mercedes:
Don’t fight, don’t lose your head

Rachel:
‘Cause every night, who’s in your bed?

Rachel and Mercedes:
Who?

Mercedes:
Who’s in your bed?

Rachel:
Kiss, pookie

Rachel and Mercedes:
That’s it! (Rachel: The straw that breaks my back)
I quit! (Mercedes: Unless you take it back)
Women, (Rachel: What is it about them?)
Can’t live with them or without them!

Take me for what I am

Mercedes:
Who I was meant to be

Rachel:
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a [bad word] 

Mercedes:
And if you give a [bad word] ya better
Take me baby or leave me

Rachel:
Oh, take me baby or leave me

Rachel and Mercedes:
Take me baby!
Or leave me!
Guess I’m leaving
I’m gone!
