Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look in my eyes
Tell me what you see
Do you see perfection in me?
To you, do I look complete?
Now take one more look, past my celebrity
That's where you'll find the real me
To you, do I still look complete?
[Verse 2]
I got every material thing I could ever need (Mmm-hmm)
I got the love from my fans that adore me (Yeah)
And I'm grateful (And I thank you so very much)
But my love for myself is lacking a little bit (Just a little bit)
I can admit that I'm working on me (Hmm)
Stayin' faithful
And what I'm tryin' to say it
[Verse 3]
Just like you, sometimes I get down (I get down)
Sometimes I just wanna cry (I just wanna cry)
Sometimes I get depressed
And just like me, tryin' to be complete (Tryin' to be complete, oh)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress
[Verse 4]
Life can be difficult
No one promised that it would be
No one promised it would be sunshine, all the time, easy
Some pain is guaranteed
But it ain't impossible (Not impossible)
You can find the joy, you see
Took me a while, but I did finally
Open your eyes and you will see I'm just like you (Just like you)
[Verse 5]
Sometimes I get down (Get down, oh)
Sometimes I just wanna cry (I just wanna cry)
Sometimes I get depressed (So depressed)
And just like me, tryin' to be complete (Tryin' to be complete, oh)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress (Whoa, oh)
[Verse 6]
Anybody knowing what it is to struggle
Never ever running in the face of trouble (Oh yeah)
Say "I'm with you" (I'm with you)
I feel you (I feel you)
I'm with you (Oh)
Just like you
Sometimes I fall, but don't we all?
Baby I feel yo' pain
We're all the same
We're all the same
Oh, I am just like you
[Verse 7]
Sometimes I get down (Hey)
Sometimes I just wanna cry
Sometimes I get depressed (Oh just like me, just like me)
Tryin' to be complete (Tryin' to be complete)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress
A work in progress (Just like you)
Sometimes I get down (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sometimes I just wanna cry
(Can you hear me?) Sometimes I get depressed (Can you feel me?)
Just like me
Tryin' to be complete (You, you, you, you, you)
Understand we're all just a work in progress
