(Intro)
I just want you to love me for me
I just want you to love me for meeeee!
I just want you to love me for me...me
VERSE
Were you protecting me or just neglecting me
When "It's a cold biz" is all you said to me?
But if its "snow cold" I thought you'd have a sled for me
Not doubt and negativity & not a breath for me
Our relationships in jeopardy!
You never accepted me for me, just the standards that you set for me
Are you really telling ME..that it'd be all cool
If I'da gone off to a law school & followed all of your rules
Like waiting on YOUR support, like when you used to drop me off
And say "You'd Be Right Back!"...I'm still waiting on you to fall through
So just admit you made mistakes...cause we all do
& I'd never say your a bad mother
Never really had a dad & at 2 you lost your mother
I see how we lost each other so we can cross each other
I could never get another, you will always be my mother (mother)
HOOK
I just want you to love me for me, I jus want you to love me for me
I just want you to love!
I just want you to love me for me cause that's all that I could ever be
And honestly I'm just a product of you YOU
All that you did & all you didn't do DO
So sometimes, I think I'd rather hear you saaaaay
I'M PROUD OF YOU!
VERSE
Realest sh** I ever wrote, never spoke cause you never listen
Forever dissin' & dismissin' see thats why I'm distant
Try to be different but not cause I'm better
Try to be different cause I wanna do better
Might get along or it might be never
Write you a song or I'll write this letter
Be honest with you and the world I thought it might be clever
To let you see I've grown up, maybe you'll like me better
You got me stressed, thinkin'
How you love those who do less?
Now I'm stressed, drinkin'
Doing my best but my best sinkin'
In the DEEP END of your anger, How can I DEPEND on a stranger
For love, Get to know me cause it's easy to judge
& I'd never say that you were a bad mother
Never really had a dad & at 2 you lost your mother
I see how we lost each other so we can't cross each other
I could never get another, you will always be my mother (mother)
HOOK
I just want you to love me for me, I jus want you to love me for me
I just want you to love!
I just want you to love me for me cause that's all that I could ever be
And honestly I'm just a product of you YOU
All that you did & all you didn't do DO
So sometimes, I think I'd rather hear you saaaaay
I'M PROUD OF YOU!
VERSE
I know being right don't always make things right
& it may seem like, you ain't doing things right
You're your own green light (GREEN LIGHT)
You're your own green light (GREEN LIGHT)
I know being right don't always make things right
& it may seem like, you ain't doing things right
You're your own green light (GREEN LIGHT)
You're your own green light (GREEN LIGHT)
I JUST HOPE THEY LOVE ME FOR MEEEE WHEN I GOOO
I JUST HOPE THEY LOVE ME FOR MEEEE WHEN I GOOO
I JUST HOPE THEY LOVE ME FOR MEEEE
WHEN I G
WHEN I G
WHEN I G, LIKE A G, "OOOOOOH"
HOOK
I just want you to love me for me, I jus want you to love me for me
I just want you to love!
I just want you to love me for me cause that's all that I could ever be
And honestly I'm just a product of you YOU
All that you did & all you didn't do DO
So sometimes, I think I'd rather hear you saaaaay
