Lyrics

[00:30.42] Love me or leave me
[00:32.18] But please don't deceive me
[00:33.69] And say you love me how I am
[00:35.63]
[00:36.95] You love the way
[00:38.25] I fit some ideal
[00:39.04]
[00:39.95] Not the real woman
[00:40.98] You've yet to understand
[00:41.88]
[00:44.17] See love ain't all heaven
[00:45.93] And I am no angel
[00:47.83]
[00:49.11] I do the best I can
[00:50.18]
[00:51.33] You always wanted
[00:52.25] Something more from my body
[00:53.42]
[00:54.73] And said you needed
[00:55.74] Something more from my loving
[00:56.89]
[00:58.60] But all you got was me
[01:00.32] And that's all that I can be
[01:01.67]
[01:02.34] I'm sorry if it let you down
[01:03.90]
[01:19.69] Now it's no nice excuse
[01:21.35] But all the magic was used
[01:23.25] Up on trying to uphold
[01:24.85]
[01:26.54] Some kind of tame
[01:28.17] Flattering persona
[01:28.52]
[01:29.23] That soon enough
[01:30.76] Was getting real old
[01:31.85]
[01:33.65] It takes more than pressure
[01:35.60] To change rock to diamond
[01:37.09]
[01:38.47] Now all you have is sand
[01:40.15] Slipping through your fingers
[01:41.23]
[01:42.84] You always wanted
[01:43.84] Something more from my body
[01:45.04]
[01:46.11] And said you needed
[01:47.09] Something more from my loving
[01:48.24]
[01:49.84] But all you got was me
[01:51.59] And that's all that I can be
[01:52.79]
[01:53.67] I'm sorry if it let you down
[01:55.32]
[01:56.86] But I'm not gonna sit around
[01:58.27]
[01:58.80] And waste my precious divine energy
[02:00.10]
[02:00.86] Trying to explain
[02:01.64] And being ashamed of things
[02:03.09] You think are wrong with me
[02:04.40] I'm not gonna sit around
[02:05.55] And waste my precious divine energy
[02:08.19] Trying to explain and being ashamed
[02:09.67] Of what you think is wrong with me
[02:11.36]
[02:25.56] Set you up
[02:26.72] You say I set you up
[02:28.71] Like I was different
[02:29.79] Than what I am
[02:31.02] Offering you now
[02:32.18]
[02:32.80] Let you down you say I let you down
[02:35.57] And drove your heart around
[02:36.56]
[02:37.34] Did you forget about all the love
[02:40.12] And the acceptance that you promised me too
[02:43.27]
[03:10.39] You always wanted something more from my body
[03:12.29]
[03:13.33] And said you needed something more from my loving
[03:15.76]
[03:17.29] But all you got was me
[03:18.95] And that's all that I can be
[03:20.26]
[03:20.85] I'm sorry if it let you down
[03:22.65]
[03:24.06] You always wanted
[03:24.84] Something more from my body
[03:26.81]
[03:27.41] And said you needed
[03:28.43] Something more from my loving
[03:29.89]
[03:31.11] But all you got was me
[03:32.68] And that's all that I can be
[03:34.12]
[03:34.80] I'm sorry if it let you down
[03:36.40]
[03:37.95] But I'm not gonna sit around
[03:39.58] And waste my precious divine energy
[03:41.36]
[03:41.92] Trying to explain and being ashamed of things
[03:44.08] You think are wrong with me
[03:45.36] I'm not gonna sit around
[03:46.59] And waste my precious divine energy
[03:48.87] Trying to explain and being ashamed
[03:50.48] Of what you think is wrong with me
