She don't care about my car She don't care about my money And that's read good cause I don't got alot to spend But if I did it wouldn't mean nothin She likes me for me Not because I look like Tyson Beckford With the charm of Robert Redford Oozing out my ears But what she sees Are my faults and indecisions My insecure condition And the tears upon the pillow that I shed She don't care about my big screen Or my collection of DVDs Things like that just never mattered much to her Plus she don't watch too much TV And she don't care that I can fly her To places she ain't never been But if she really wants to go I think deep down she knows that All she has to say is when She likes me for me Not because I hang with Leonardo Or that guy who played in "Fargo" I think his name is Steve She's the one for me And I just can't live without her My arms belong around her And I'm so glad I found her once again And I'm so glad I found her once again And I'm so glad I found her once again Gazing at the ceiling as we entertain our feelings in the dark The things that we're afraid of are gonna show us what we're made of in the end She likes me for me Not because I sing like Pavorotti Or because I'm such a hottie I like her for her Not because she's fat like Cindy Crawford She has got so much to offer Why does she waste all her time with me There must be something there that I don't see She likes me for me Not because I'm tough like Dirty Harry Maker her laugh just like Jim Carrey Unlike the Cable Guy But what she sees Is that I can't live without her And I'm so glad I found her once again Found her once again Once again Yeah I'm so glad I found her once again
