Mary J. Blige - Growing Pains lyrics
rate me[Verse 1:] <br />Look in my eyes. <br />Tell me what you see <br />Do you see perfection in me? <br />To you, do I look complete? <br />Now take one more look pass my celebrity. <br />That's where you'll find the real me. <br />To you, do I still look complete? <br /> <br />[Pre-Chorus:] <br />I got every material thing I could ever need. (Hmmm) <br />I got the love from my fans that adore me. (Yeah) <br />And I'm grateful. (And I thank you so very much) <br />But my love for myself is lacking a little bit. (Just a little bit) <br />I can admit that I'm working on me. (Hmmm) <br />Staying faithful. (Staying faithful and what I'm tryna say is...) <br /> <br />[Chorus:] <br />Just like you sometimes I get down. (Just like you, I get down) <br />Sometimes I just wanna cry. (I just wanna cry) <br />Sometimes I get depressed. <br />And just like me, tryna be complete. (And just like me, tryna be complete, ohh) <br />Just understand we're all just a work in progress. <br /> <br />[Verse 2:] <br />Life can be difficult. <br />No one promised that it would be... <br />(No one promised it would be sunshine all the time) <br />Sunshine all the time, easy. <br />Some pain is guaranteed. <br />But it ain't impossible. <br />You can find the joy, you see. <br />Took me a while but I did finally. <br />Open your eyes and you will see I'm just like you. <br /> <br />[Chorus:] <br />Just like you sometimes I get down. (Get down, ohh) <br />Sometimes I just wanna cry. (Just wanna cry) <br />Sometimes I get depressed. (So depressed) <br />And just like me, tryna be complete. (Just like me, tryna be complete) <br />Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (We're all just, ohh) <br /> <br />[Bridge:] <br />Anybody knowing what it is to struggle. (Ohhh) <br />Never ever running in the face of trouble. (Oh yeah) <br />Say "I'm with you". (I'm with you) <br />"I feel you". (I feel you) <br />"I'm with you". <br />Just like you... (Sometimes I fall but I feel your pain. We're all the same) <br />(We're all the same, ohhh I am just like you) <br /> <br />[Chorus:] <br />Just like you sometimes I get down. <br />Sometimes I just wanna cry. <br />Sometimes I get depressed. (So depressed) <br />And just like me, tryna be complete. (Oh just like, just like me)(Tryna be complete) <br />Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (Just understand we're all a work in progress) <br /> <br />Just like you sometimes I get down. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, ohhh) <br />Sometimes I just wanna cry. <br />Sometimes I get depressed. (Can you hear me, can you feel me?) <br />And just like me, tryna be complete. (I am, I am, I'm just like you) <br />Just understand we're all just a work in progress.<br /><br />
