Mary J. Blige - Work In Progress lyrics

rate me

Look in my eyes<br />

Tell me what you see<br />

Do you see perfection in me?<br />

To you, do I look complete?<br />

<br />

Now take one more look pass my celebrity<br />

That's where you'll find the real me<br />

To you, do I still look complete?<br />

<br />

I got every material thing I could ever need<br />

I got the love from my fans that adore me<br />

And I'm grateful<br />

And I thank you so very much<br />

<br />

But my love for myself is lacking a little bit<br />

(Just a little bit)<br />

I can admit that I'm working on me<br />

Staying faithful and what I'm tryna say is<br />

<br />

Just like you sometimes I get down<br />

(I get down)<br />

Sometimes I just wanna cry<br />

(I just wanna cry)<br />

Sometimes I get depressed<br />

<br />

And just like me, tryna be complete<br />

(Tryna be complete)<br />

Just understand we're all just a work in progress<br />

<br />

Life can be difficult<br />

No one promised that it would be<br />

(No one promised it would be)<br />

Sunshine all the time, easy<br />

Some pain is guaranteed<br />

<br />

But it ain't impossible<br />

(Not impossible)<br />

You can find the joy, you see<br />

Took me a while but I did finally<br />

Open your eyes and you will see<br />

<br />

I'm just like you sometimes I get down<br />

Sometimes I just wanna cry<br />

Sometimes I get depressed<br />

(So depressed)<br />

<br />

Just like me, tryna be complete<br />

(Just tryna be complete)<br />

Just understand we're all just a work in progress<br />

<br />

Anybody knowing what it is to struggle<br />

Never ever running in the face of trouble<br />

Say I'm with you<br />

(I'm with you)<br />

I feel you<br />

(I feel you)<br />

I'm with you<br />

<br />

Just like you sometimes I fall but don't we all<br />

Baby, I feel your pain<br />

We're all the same, we're all the same<br />

Oh, I am just like you<br />

<br />

Sometimes I get down<br />

Sometimes I just wanna cry<br />

Sometimes I get depressed<br />

<br />

Oh, just like me<br />

(Just like me)<br />

Tryna be complete<br />

(Just tryna be complete)<br />

Just understand we're all just a work in progress<br />

(Just understand we're all a work in progress)<br />

<br />

Just like you sometimes I get down<br />

Sometimes I just wanna cry<br />

Sometimes I get depressed<br />

(Can you feel me, can you hear me?)<br />

<br />

Just like me, tryna be complete<br />

(I am, I am, I'm just like you)<br />

Just understand we're all just a work in progress<br /><br />
