(+) Esperanza Spalding - Precious



love me or leave me but
please dont deceive me
and say you love me how I am
you love the way I fit some ideal
not the real woman
youve yet to understand
see love aint 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
thats all that I can be
Im sorry if it let you down

now its 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 thats all that I can be
Im sorry if it let you down

but Im not gonna sit around
and waste my precious divine energy
trying to explain and being ashamed
of things you think are wrong with me
Im 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
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 thats all that I can be
Im 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 thats all that I can be
Im sorry if it let you down
but Im not gonna sit around
and waste my precious divine energy
trying to explain and being ashamed
of things you think are wrong with me
me, Im not gonna sit around
and waste my precious divine energy
trying to explain and being ashamed
of what you think is
wrong with meit let you down
