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?


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
