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. |
