Lyrics: Any Way You Want Me (Thatās How I Will Be)Ā
Iāll be a strong as a mountain,
Or weak as a willow tree,
Anyway you want me,
Thatās how I will be.
Iāll be a tame as a baby,
Or wild as the raging sea,
Anyway you want me,
Thatās how I will be.
In your hand my heart is clay,
To take a mold as you may.
Iām what you make me, youāve only to take me,
And in your arms I will stay.
Iāll be a fool or a wise man,
My darling you hold the key,
Yes, anyway you want me,
Thatās how I will be,
I will be.
