I would have you as you are That’s the way I love you I’m so afraid that time and life May mellow and mature you Afraid some clever analyst May in a decade cure you Don’t change your basic patterns Strange, as they may be They way you are, oh my darling You never can belong to anybody else but me I love your streak of cruelty Your psychopathic lies The homicidal tendencies Shining in your eyes Don’t change your psychic structures, Weird as it may be Your wild and strange misbehavior And you rich my lonely days with very deep anxiety I love your endless fantasies Your morbid little tears You make me feel so needed, sweet With your countless fears Don’t change your odd neuroses They’re what make you mine For no one else dear would have you So don’t you ever change a lick No, stay darling, stay, way under par Stay darling, stay, as constant as the stars. Stay darling, stay Stay as sick as you are
