Christina Aguilera - I Am (Stripped) Lyrics






I am timid and
I am oversensitive
I am a lioness
I am tired and defensive
You take me in your arms
And I fall into you
I have insecurities
You show me I am beautiful

Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

Mmmm...

I am temperamental and
I have imperfections and
I am emotional
I am unpredictable
I am naked
I am vulnerable
I am a woman
I am opening up to you

Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands
I'm asking you to take me just the way that I am
Please lay down your arms, do you know me?
Make me feel safe from harm

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

I am temperamental and
I have imperfections and
I am emotional
There'll be no more pretending

Mmhmm...

  9. F.... P....

    i love this song

  10. D.... J....

    still not as stripped as Save Me from Myself. bec of the backup singers excessively chiming in

  11. D.... V....

    Would just like to clarify: the song is titled, "I Am (Stripped)". As in, this is a stripped version of the song "I Am", that contains less invasive instrumentation and the vocal line is brought out. The fact that the word "stripped" is in the title of the song has absolutely nothing to do with her album titled "Stripped". No connection whatsoever.

  12. E.... K....

    Beautiful

  13. C.... ....

    sia wrote this... so beautiful 

    C.... ....

    +CutestGalaxy she's just listing words, not a songwriting masterpiece christina's voice is lovely though

    C.... ....

    C.... ....

    by sia hahaha siaaa

    First off - the album IS sex obsessed to whomever says it "seems" sex obsessed and second - this is from the bionic. Album not stripped.

  15. G.... ....

    I used to listen to this song while reading "a stolen life" and its just an amazing song and the book is also amazing

    G.... ....

    @***** Jaycee Dugard, its a really sad book of the account of her kidnap and abuse, be aware it is not for children.

  19. B.... F....

  27. S.... ....

    This is such an under rated and wonderful album...........

  28. D.... ....

    i am over acting

  29. S.... ....

    Love this song..

  30. 1.... ....

    nope, her label cancel her 2010 tour for the flop of Bionic.

  31. 1.... ....

    My TOP of Bionic:

    1. Lift Me Up
    2. My Heart (Intro) --
    3. I Am
    4. You Lost Me
    5. Stronger Than Ever
    6. I Am (Stripped)
    7. Little Dreamer
    8. All I Need
    9. Morning Dessert (Intro) --
    10. Sex For Breakfast
    11. Monday Morning
    12. Birds Of Prey
    13. Bionic
    14. WooHoo
    15. Not Myself Tonight
    16. Desnudate (Get Naked 4 Me)
    17. Vanity
    18. Elastic Love
    19. Glam
    20. Prima Donna
    21. Love & Glamour (Intro) --
    22. I Hate Boys
    23. My Girls (featuring Peaches)
    24. Bobblehead

  32. b.... ....

    Bionic has many ballads like this one. And her vocals are not overused. Check out "Sex for breakfast", "All I need" and "Birds of pray".

  33. F.... C....

    Why doesn't she do songs like this more often? If only she didn't oversing 95% of the time.

  34. j.... ....

    has she ever sang this song live?

  35. k.... l....

    I wish I had her gift, she's so amazing <3

  36. A.... L....

    Perhaps the verb "hear" is more appropriate here. Haha! Never mind me, the editor in me can't be tamed. :) No offense meant.

  37. A.... L....

    I like this version better. The other one is so emotional. Sounds so depressing. :)

  38. A.... W....

    She should sing like this more often.

  39. R.... ....

    ‎...{Bi~ΟΠ~iC}: "strong, sexy, fun, playful"... Happy Birthday #2 ...{Bi~ΟΠ~iC}!

  40. E.... C....

    Love me or leave me, just take it or leave it
    It's not that I'm needy, just need you to see me
    Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
    Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

  41. S.... C....

    vocab: audible; better clarity in diction.

  42. d.... s....

    PERFECT SONG

  43. W.... M....

    Sia Wrote this song ! <3

    W.... M....

    Wallcott MR and Christina

  44. B.... L....

    @iamepuk It's so more personal and deep!!!! I prefer this version too!!!

  45. C.... ....

    Props for the replay button!!

  46. A.... A....

    And this coming from the woman who sang "Dirty". I love this song.

  47. S.... ....

    this song is simply.... perfect <3 <3

  48. y.... ....

    @sorryyoursupersonic Not dumb-deaf:)

  49. n.... ....

    this is good but i prefer the other one

  50. t.... ....

    i love this song..there were so many that are good on this album

  51. T.... ....

    @xxoxxemmaxoxx I completely agree. She's amazing with stuff like that. It may not sell as good, but it'd be for the fans. Maybe a big strong ballad could lead it and be successful. But it probably wont happen sadly. :(

  52. T.... ....

    This is one of my favourite tracks too. I understand that she needed an upbeat track to guide the album but a song like Prima Donna or I Hate Boys could have had more success. You Lost Me and Lift Me Up could have been great hit singles. But I think because of Not Myself Tonight not being a huge success, You Lost Me didn't do as good, especially since it was released in the summer.

  53. C.... G....

    @feuervogel2011 nononono theres a gay songs but that they like you

  54. C.... G....

    this the only one song in that albun bionic and birds are pray is good but
    the rest of the tracks are bad

  55. i.... ....

    if she had realeased this song after not myself tonight was not praised it would be like beautiful a life saver and she couldeve swept the grammy and would have a better year

  56. E.... W....

    Beautiful song, Beautiful voice, Beautiful woman, Beautiful lyrics. Amen

  57. F.... P....

    qe lindo tema!

  58. n.... m....

    i always listened to this song when i am on a train and then the wind blows...it feels so great!!! love this song so much!!!i prefer the acoustic version..very relaxing!!!

  59. n.... m....

    @sorryyoursupersonic AGREED!!! 100%!!!!

  60. s.... ....

    Only dumbs can't see the difference in " I am" and "I am (Stripped)"!

    I prefer the 2nd one!

  61. T.... ....

    beautiful song!!!! <3

  62. p.... ....

    how is this stripped version of " I Am" different than the other song called "I Am" on this album? they sound the same to me...
