But please
Don't deceive me
And say you
Love me how I am
You love the way
I fit some ideal
Not the real woman
You've yet to understand
See love ain't all heaven
And I am no angel
But I do the best I can
You always wanted
Something more from my body
And said you needed
Something more from my loving
But all you got was me
And that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down
Now it's no nice excuse
But all the magic was used
Up on trying to uphold
Some kind of tame
Flattering persona
That soon enough
Was getting real old
It takes more than pressure
To change rock to diamond
Now all you have is sand
Slipping through your fingers
You always wanted
Something more from my body
And said you needed
Something more from my loving
But all you got was me
And that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down
But I'm not gonna sit around
And waste
My precious divine energy
Trying to explain
And being ashamed of things
You think are wrong with me
I'm not gonna sit around
And waste
My precious divine energy
Trying to explain
And being ashamed
Of what you think
Is wrong with me
Set you up
You say I set you up
Like I was different
Than what I am
Offering you now
Let you down
And drug your heart around
Did you forget about
All of the love
And the acceptance
That you promised me too?
You always wanted
Something more from my body
And said you needed
Something more from my loving
But all you got was me
And that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down
You always wanted
Something more from my body
And said you needed
Something more from my loving
But all you got was me
And that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down
But I'm not gonna sit around
And waste
My precious divine energy
Trying to explain
And being ashamed of things
You think are wrong with me
Me, I'm not gonna sit around
And waste
My precious divine energy
Trying to explain
And being ashamed
Of what you think is wrong with me
Love me or leave me But please Don't deceive me And say you Love me how I am You love the way I fit some ideal Not the real woman You've yet to understand See love ain't all heaven And I am no angel But I do the best I can You always wanted Something more from my body And said you needed Something more from my loving But all you got was me And that's all that I can be I'm sorry if it let you down Now it's no nice excuse But all the magic was used Up on trying to uphold Some kind of tame Flattering persona That soon enough Was getting real old It takes more than pressure To change rock to diamond Now all you have is sand Slipping through your fingers You always wanted Something more from my body And said you needed Something more from my loving But all you got was me And that's all that I can be I'm sorry if it let you down But I'm not gonna sit around And waste My precious divine energy Trying to explain And being ashamed of things You think are wrong with me I'm not gonna sit around And waste My precious divine energy Trying to explain And being ashamed Of what you think Is wrong with me Set you up You say I set you up Like I was different Than what I am Offering you now Let you down And drug your heart around Did you forget about All of the love And the acceptance That you promised me too?
