Deep Inside
[To the top]
Lyrics: Mary J. Blige, Tara Geter, Kevin Deane, Elton John, Bernie Taupin
Music: Kevin Deane
The problem is for many years
I lived my life publicly
So it's hard for me to find a man I trust
I really trust
And every time I find someone I like
Gotta worry about if it's really me that they see
And I thought you were the one
Chorus:
Deep inside I wish that you could see
That I'm just plain ol' Mary
Mary
I don't have a lot of friends
And sometimes I have to wonder
Is it cash they see when they look at me
Cause they're looking for a ride that's free
So I made the choice to be
Good to those who were good to me
Don't judge me or think I'm bitter
For the evil gods allow me to see
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
Chorus
The car I drive
The clothes I wear
The diamonds, the furs, and the house
Don't make the woman
Material things don't mean a thing to me
So I need someone to stand by me
And supply my needs
And I'm just plain ol' Mary
Why can't you just love the person inside
And stop looking aside
Chorus
