Take Me or Leave Me Cast of the Motion Picture 'Rent' (Ft. Idina Menzel & Tracie Thoms)

[MAUREEN]
Every single day I walk down the street
I hear people say, "Baby, 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

Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me, baby, or leave me
Take me, baby, or leave me

A 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

[MAUREEN & JOANNE]
So be mine and don't waste my time
Crying, "Oh, honey bear, are you still my, my, my, baby?"
Don't you dare

Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me, baby, or leave me
