Esperanza Spalding - Precious (Album Version)(2008)

[00:00.01] La, la, la, la-la-la, la, la
[00:06.05] La, la, la, la-la-la, la-la-e, la, la
[00:15.08]
[00:29.90] Love me or leave me, but please don't deceive me, and say you love me how I am
[00:36.48] You love the way I fit some ideal, not the real woman you've yet to understand
[00:43.26] See love ain't all heaven, and I am no angel, but I do the best I can
[00:50.78] You always wanted something more from my body
[00:54.14] And said you needed something more from my loving
[00:57.68] But all you got was me and that's all that I can be
[01:01.42] I'm sorry if it let you down
[01:05.55] La, la, la, la-la-la, la, la
[01:10.86] La, la, la, la-la-la, la-la-e, la, la
[01:19.11] Now it's no nice excuse but all the magic was used up on trying to uphold
[01:26.05] Some kind of tame flattering persona that soon enough was getting real old
[01:32.85] It takes more than pressure to change rock to diamond
[01:37.83] Now all you have is sand slipping through your fingers
[01:42.28] You always wanted something more from my body
[01:45.34] And said you needed something more from my loving
[01:49.19] But all you got was me and that's all that I can be
[01:52.92] I'm sorry if it let you down
[01:56.44] But I'm not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy
[02:00.18] Trying to explain and being ashamed of things you think are wrong with me
[02:03.95] I'm not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy
[02:07.33] Trying to explain and being ashamed of what you think is wrong with me, no! I'm not
[02:18.44]
[02:25.13] Set you up, you say I set you up
[02:28.08] Like I was different then, what I am offering you now
[02:31.85] Let you down, you say I let you down
[02:35.05] And drug your heart around, did you forget about
[02:38.77] All of the love and the acceptance that you promised me too?
[02:46.71]
[03:09.42] You always wanted something more from my body
[03:12.71] And said you needed something more from my loving
[03:16.71] But all you got was me and that's all that I can be
[03:20.14] I'm sorry if it let you down
[03:23.06] You always wanted something more from my body
[03:26.82] And said you needed something more from my loving
[03:30.42] But all you got was me and that's all that I can be
[03:33.93] I'm sorry if it let you down
[03:37.01] But I'm not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy
[03:41.27] Trying to explain and being ashamed of what you think is wrong with me
[03:44.52] I'm not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy
[03:48.43] Trying to explain and being ashamed of what you think is wrong with me, no
[03:58.83] La, la, la, la-la-la, la, la
[04:04.18] La, la, la, la-la-la, la-la-e, la, la
[04:10.65] La, la, la, la-la-la, la-la-e, la, la
[04:20.89]
