Текст песни Deep Inside - Mary J. Blige feat. Elton John

Yeah
Yeah-yeah
Whoa-whoa-ooh
Ooh

The problem is, for many years, I've lived my life publicly
So, it's hard for me to find a man I trust (I trust), I really trust
And every time I find someone I like, gotta worry about if it's really me that they see
And I thought you were the one, ooh

Deep inside, I wish that you could see, (I wish that they could see) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary (that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary), Mary, yeah, yeah
Deep inside, I wish that you could see, (I wish that they could see) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, (hmm) Mary, (ooh)

I don't have a lot of friends (friends)
And sometimes, I have to wonder, is it cash they see, when they look at me? (Look at me)
'Cause they're lookin' for a ride, that's free (free)
So, I made the choice to be good to those who are good to me
Don't judge me, or think I'm bitter (bitter)
For the evil does allow me to see (see), I'm just Mary

I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary (ooh)
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary (yeah)
(I'm just Mary, can't you see that I, I)
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
(I said, I said I'm just Mary)
I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary (ooh, yeah, yeah)

Oh-ooh, ooh
Deep inside, I wish that you could see (deep inside, I wish that) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary
(I wish that they can see that I'm Mary, yeah), Mary (ooh)
Deep inside, I wish that they could see, (deep inside, I wish that) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary, (ey-ey-yeah) (can't help it, can't help it), (ooh)

Deep inside, I wish that you could see (every day of my life I wish) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary (ooh, I wish that I could see that I'm just ol' Mary, yeah, yeah)
Deep inside, I wish that they could see (and I wish, I wish, I wish) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, (ooh) Mary (oh no, no, no)

The car I drive (yeah), the clothes I wear (ooh), the diamonds, the furs, and the house (ooh), don't make the woman (don't make the woman)
Material things don't mean nothing to me, yeah-yeah
So, I need someone to stand by me, and supply my needs
(I need someone), and I'm just plain ol' Mary
Why can't you love the person inside, and stop lookin' outside?

Deep inside, I wish that they could see (I said that I'm just Mary, yeah) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary (all day, all night, I'm Mary, Mary, Mary, ooh)
Deep inside, I wish that they could see (said I wish, and I wish, and I wish, and I wish)
That I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary (I wish that they can see that free Mary), (M.J.B., yeah)
Deep inside, I wish that you could see

If I could give you something else
But I can't give you nothing, but me, all day and all night (Mary)
I'm just Mary, Mary, Mary

Deep inside, I wish that you could see (it can't be the clothes or the car I drive, 'cause I), that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary
Deep inside, I wish that you could see (see, the problem is, for many years, I've lived my life publicly) that I'm just plain ol' Mary, (and everytime my man don't mind, I, I can't trust him, ooh) Mary
Deep inside, I wish that you could see that I'm just plain ol' Mary, Mary (yeah)
