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

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 drove your heart around

Did you forget about all 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

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
