Ingrid Michaelson’s “The Way I Am”

I think almost everyone knows the Old Navy sweater commercial, but I just got the full song that goes with it via the Minnesota Public Radio Current Song of the Day podcast.

While Ingrid Michaelson’s singing is a nice mix of sexy and sweet, the full lyrics are the real surprise here:

If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I’d find a match.

Cuz I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I’ll make it better.

Cuz I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.

I’d buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.

It apparently did pretty well on radio, but since my radio is an iPod nowadays, I was completely unaware of this song outside of Old Navy and, now, the MPR podcast. If you don’t want to download the podcast (or get there too late, and that song is no longer in MPR’s rotation), you can get the song here.
