Mary J Blige

Deep Inside

Verse 1
The problem is for many years
I lived my life publicly
So it's hard for me to find a man I trust, (I really 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

Chorus
Deep inside I wish that you could see
That I'm just plain old Mary
Deep inside I wish that you could see
That I'm just plain old Mary, Mary

Verse 2
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 lookin' for a ride that's free
So I made the choice to be good
To those who are good to me
Don't judge me or think I'm bitter
For the evil God allowed me to see
I'm just Mary

Chorus

I'm just Mary (repeat)
Im just Mary, can't you see that I-I-I
I'm just Mary (repeat)
I said I'm just Mary, oh yeah

The car I drive, the clothes I wear
The diamonds, the furs and the house
Don't make the woman
Material things don't mean a thing to me
'Cause I need someone to stand by me
I need someone
Supply my needs and not just to trade on Mary
Why can't you love the person inside
And stop lookin' outside?
