If You Could See Your Faults

When I wake up in the morning

And you're laid there quiet, besides

Just the sound, you quietly snoring

Just the sight, mouth open wide

It's that look that gets me through there

When you're vulnerable and you're weak

'Fore I make you your first coffee

I kissed you gently on the cheek

Many women who are weaker (ooh)

Would not put up with what I've got (ooh)

Many women who are stronger (ooh)

Find themselves in similar knot

When they look back on my journey

My behaviour, my choice of men

I may not be widely respected

More a fool just now and then

Those suffragettes sure had some courage

But also half this land's support

I had simply nobody

Whenever I fell short

As I fold his morning paper

As I put out his best shoes

I often ask myself, 'What's better?

To be ignored or to be used?'

And that weakness that I show

I show to no-one else on earth

And the strength I have to deal with you

That's been with me since my birth

Short, I was of any compliment (ooh)

Short, I was of any hope (ooh)

Long away I was from happiness (ooh)

Long in bath I'd like to soak

When they look back on my journey

My behaviour, my choice of men

I may not be widely respected

More a fool just now and then

Those suffragettes sure had some courage

But also half this land's support

I had simply nobody

Whenever I fell short

Yeah but we, we are weak and we are strong

We are confident, half the time

No-one's free of imperfections

If you could see your faults

Like I see mine, like I see mine

When they look back on my journey

My behaviour, my choice of men

I may not be widely respected

More a fool just now and then

Those suffragettes sure had some courage

But also half this land's support

I had simply nobody

Whenever I fell short

No one's free of imperfections

If you could see your faults

Like I see mine, like I see mine
