Like It or Not

You can call me a sinner Or you can call me a saint Celebrate me for who I am Dislike me for what I ain't Put me up on a pedestal Or drag me down in the dirt Sticks and stones will break my bones But your names will never hurt I'll be the garden You'll be the snake All of my fruits Is yours to take Better the devil that you know Your love for me will grow Because This is who I am You can like it or not You can love me Or leave me 'Cause I'm never gonna stop No no Cleopatra had her way Mata Hari too Whether they were good or bad Is strictly up to you Life is a paradox And it doesn't make much sense Can't have the femme without the fatale Please don't take offense Don't let the fruit rot Under the vine Fill up your cup And let's drink the wine Better the devil that you know Your love for me will grow Because This is who I am You can like it or not You can love me Or leave me 'Cause I'm never gonna stop No no, you know This is who I am You can like it or not You can love me Or leave me 'Cause I'm never gonna stop No no, you know No no, you know No no, you know No no, you know No no, you know I'll be the garden You'll be the snake All of my fruit Is yours to take Better the devil that you know Your love for me will grow Because This is who I am You can like it or not You can love me Or leave me 'Cause I'm never gonna stop No no, you know This is who I am You can like it or not You can love me Or leave me 'Cause I'm never gonna stop No no, you know No no, you know No no, you know No no, you know No no, you know --- Like It or Not - Madonna
