Work In Progress (Growing Pains)

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?

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

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

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)

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)

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

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
