Lyrics

La, la, la, la-la-la, la, la
 La, la, la, la-la-la, la-la-e, la, la
 ♪
 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
 La, la, la, la-la-la, la, la
 La, la, la, la-la-la, la-la-e, la, la
 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, no! I'm not
 
 ♪
 Set you up, you say I set you up
 Like I was different then, what I am offering you now
 Let you down, you say I 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 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, no
 La, la, la, la-la-la, la, la
 La, la, la, la-la-la, la-la-e, la, la
