Work In Progress (Growing Pains) - Mary J. Blige
Look in my eyes
Tell me what you see
Do you see perfection in me
To you do I look complete
Now take one more look
pass my celebrity
That's where you'll find
the real me
To you do I still
look complete
I got every material thing
I could ever need
I got the love
from my fans that adore me
And I'm grateful
And I thank you so very much
But my love for myself
is lacking a little bit
I can admit
that I'm working on me
Staying faithful
And what I'm tryna say is
Just like you
sometimes I get down
Sometimes I just wanna cry
Sometimes I get depressed
And just like me
tryna be complete
Just understand we're
all just a work in progress
Life can be difficult
No one promised
that it would be
No one promised it would be
Sunshine all the time easy
Some pain is guaranteed
But it ain't impossible
You can find the joy you see
Took me a while but
I did finally
Open your eyes and you will
see I'm just like you
sometimes I get down
Sometimes I just wanna cry
Sometimes I get depressed
And just like me
tryna be complete
Just understand we're
all just a work in progress
Anybody knowing
what it is to struggle
Never ever running
in the face of trouble
Say I'm with you
I feel you
I'm with you
Just like you
Sometimes I fall
But don't we how
Baby I feel your pain
We're all the same
We're all the same oh
I am just like you
sometimes I get down
Sometimes I just wanna cry
Sometimes I get depressed
Oh just like me
tryna be complete
Just understand we're all
Just a work in progress
A work in progress
Just like you
sometimes I get down
Sometimes I just wanna cry
Sometimes I get depressed
And just like me
tryna be complete
Just understand we're all
just a work in progress
