Deep Inside
Mary J. Blige f/ Elton John

Verse 1:
The problem is, for many years
I'm lived my life publicly
So it's hard for me to find a man I trust
I rarely trust
And everytime 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
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 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

I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I'm just Mary can't you see that I, I-I-I-I-I'm
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary

Chorus

Bridge:
The car I drive
The clothes I wear
The diamonds, the furs, and the house
Don't make the woman
Material thangs don't mean a thang to me
So I need some one
To stand by me
And supply my needs
And I'm just plain old Mary
Why can't you just love the person inside
And stop looking outside

Chorus ('til fade)
