Take Me For What I'm Worth:The Searchers.
#20 in UK and #76 on BB Hot 100 on PYE
Records in 1965.
INTRO: Em Bm G
#1.
Don't try and understand me, you never could do that.
Ahhhh, and in the end you'd wind up being hurt. 
I'm a man with too many problems that keep pounding on
my brain.
So, if you want me, you'll take me for what I'm worth.
(If you want me, you'll take me for what I'm worth.) 
#2.
I don't pretend to be a saint, my sins they are many..
but there's no one perfect in this universe. 
And though you think I'm weird, don't try and change
me, dear..cause if you want me, you'll take me for what
I'm worth.
(If you want me, you'll take me for what I'm worth.)
(INTERLUDE:) Em Bm C G
#3.
Hear a howling wind outside my door, there's restlessness
within.
Oh, I'm like a rain cloud that one day may burst. 
We both know I'll be leavin' and if one little tear you grieve..
aahhh, it's all right cause that's all I'm really worth.
(It's all right, cause that's all I'm really worth.)
#4.
And if you think about me, in your lonesome hours..
aahhh, and on your lips there's a sweet word and not a
curse. 
Aahhhh, then I'll be comin' back one day, when my wandering
is over.
Ah, if you want me, you'll take me for what I'm worth.
(If you want me, you'll take me for what I'm worth.)
OUTRO:
Ah, if you want me, you'll take me for what I'm worth.
(If you want me, you'll take me for what I'm worth.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
