Lyrics of Come As You Are by Nirvana

verse

Come as you are, as you were
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend
As a known enemy
Take your time, hurry up
Choice is yours, don′t be late
Take a rest, as a friend
As a known memoria

Come doused in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend
As a known memoria
