Deep Inside - Mary J. Blige, Elton John

The problem is, for many years

I’ve lived my life, publicly

So it’s hard for me to find a man I trust

I rarely 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, oh 1 — Deep inside I wish that you could see

That I’m just plain old 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 God’s allowed me to see

I’m just Mary

2 — I’m just Mary, just Mary, just Mary

It’s the car I drive

The clothes I wear

The diamonds, the furs, and the house

Don’t make the woman

So I need someone

To stand by me And supply my needs

And I’m just plain old Mary
