 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer

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
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 what  
You think is 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
