(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!
