Mary J. Blige - Deep Inside lyrics

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh

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

Repeat 1

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

Repeat 2 (3x)

Repeat 1 (4x)

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
