Lyrics

I just want you to love me, just the way I am
I really want you to love me in ways I can’t understand
Don’t hold my past against me, I’m not that person anymore
I just want you to love me like you’ve never done before

I know I’m not perfect, I’m getting better everyday
Yet the closer I try to get, u push me further away
You seem to have a problem with every little thing I do
It’s like I can’t win, I’m just trying to please you
Do you really love me love me? Or what you want me to be?
I’m tired of trying to change, why can’t you just love me for me?

I just want you to love me, just the way I am
I really want you to love me in ways I can’t understand
Don’t hold my past against me, I’m not that person anymore
I just want you to love me like you’ve never done before

The things you’ve been doing, they’re just not cool
I’m trying to be patient, but I’m nobody’s fool
I’m trying to give you some time to do what you do
And I don’t know how long I can keep waiting on you
Do you really love me love me? Or what you want me to be?
I’m tired of trying to change, why can’t you just love me for me?

I just want you to love me, just the way I am
I really want you to love me in ways I can’t understand
Don’t hold my past against me, I’m not that person anymore
I just want you to love me like you’ve never done before

Please keep it real with me, tell me what I’m doing wrong
You owe me that much, we been doin this too damn long
When we are out & about, I see your wandering eye
Well the grass ain’t always greener on the other side

Well I could make more money and become more of a jerk
I could get a better job, but constantly be looking for work
I could lose a little weight; the good Lord knows I tried
I could work out a lot more and still be unhealthy inside

But I just want you to love me, just the way I am
I really want you to love me in ways I can’t understand
Don’t hold my past against me, I’m not that person anymore
I just want you to love me like you’ve never done before
