Precious

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, you say I 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 it let you down
