In The First Place

[Verse 1]
Well listen to me woman I ain't gonna change for you
Or nobody else I'ma gonna be myself

[Chorus]
Well you can take me like I am or leave me like I was
In the first place, in the first place

[Verse 2]
Well I ain't gonna quit my flirting
'Cause it gives me inspiration when I've had a little kiss or two
Am I coming through?

[Chorus]
Yeah, you can take me like I am or leave me like I was
In the first place, in the first place

[Verse 3]
A well a I might stay out all night
It don't a mean I'm a doing you wrong it's just the way that I am
Oh, don't you undеrstand

[Chorus]
You can take me like I am or lеave me like I was
In the first place, in the first place

[Verse 4]
Well a-woman I want your love
But if I have to choose between loving you and being a free
You can a plainly see

[Chorus]
You can take me like I am or you can leave me like I was
In the first place, hey, in the first place

[Verse 5]
Well now that you heard me woman
I just wanted you to know what you're getting into
And it's up a-to you

[Chorus]
Hey, you can take me like I am or you can leave me like I was
In the first place, hey, in the first place
You can take me like I am or leave me like I was
In the first place, in the first place
Hey, in the first place, all around the first place
