Work In Progress (Growing Pains) |
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. |
(Hmmm) |
I got the love from my fans that adore me. |
(Yeah) |
And I’m grateful. |
(And I thank you so very much) |
But my love for myself is lacking a little bit. |
(Just a little bit) |
I can admit that I’m working on me. |
(Hmmm) |
Staying faithful. |
(Staying faithful and what I’m tryna say is…) |
Just like you sometimes I get down. |
(Just like you, I get down) |
Sometimes I just wanna cry. |
(I just wanna cry) |
Sometimes I get depressed. |
And just like me, tryna be complete. |
(And just like me, tryna be complete, ohh) |
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) |
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. |
Just like you sometimes I get down. |
(Get down, ohh) |
Sometimes I just wanna cry. |
(Just wanna cry) |
Sometimes I get depressed. |
(So depressed) |
And just like me, tryna be complete. |
(Just like me, tryna be complete) |
Just understand we’re all just a work in progress. |
(We're all just, ohh) |
Anybody knowing what it is to struggle. |
(Ohhh) |
Never ever running in the face of trouble. |
(Oh yeah) |
Say «I'm with you». |
(I'm with you) |
«I feel you». |
(I feel you) |
«I'm with you». |
Just like you… (Sometimes I fall but I feel your pain. We’re all the same) |
(We're all the same, ohhh I am just like you) |
Just like you sometimes I get down. |
Sometimes I just wanna cry. |
Sometimes I get depressed. |
(So depressed) |
And just like me, tryna be complete. |
(Oh just like, just like me)(Tryna be |
complete) |
Just understand we’re all just a work in progress. |
(Just understand we’re all a |
work in progress) |
Just like you sometimes I get down. |
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, ohhh) |
Sometimes I just wanna cry. |
Sometimes I get depressed. |
(Can you hear me, can you feel me?) |
And just like me, tryna be complete. |
(I am, I am, I’m just like you) |
Just understand we’re all just a work in progress. |
