Look at me
Do you see?
Do you see me?
I look no different than thee

I am human too
No different than you
Making mistakes too
Human through and through

Why are my mistakes
Always bigger when it's you who grates?
Out of everyone's mistakes
It is always mine everyone hates

You lie, you cheat, you steal
You should be faced with what I feel
The pain I see when I don't lie, cheat, or steal
Why is it mine that is what is real?

You've lied countless times
All I've done is profess love in rhymes
Hurting no one through the times
But my love is held as one of many crimes

Look at that
You've been married just after a chat
I scowl and scream at that
I've waited my turn, patiently sat

I've promised everything to my love
Something you wouldn't do without a shove
My love isn't just a fling, it's a real love
Why is it that you're the one wearing a white glove?

I see so many people without love married
While after a while the feelings are not carried
Why is it that untrue love can be married,
While with a same sex love the rules are varied?

I love my girl so very much
But you're only looking for sex and such
I want to be with her forever so very much
What I want is more than any naughty touch

You're seeking money or fame
For this you have no shame
For me her attention is the only fame
That I'd want to gain from this dame

Look at me
Do you see?
Do you see me?
I look no different than thee

I am human too
No different than you
Making mistakes too
Human through and through

Why are my mistakes
Always bigger when it's you who grates?
Out of everyone's mistakes
It is always mine everyone hates

You lie, you cheat, you steal
You should be faced with what I feel
The pain I see when I don't lie, cheat, or steal
Why is it mine that is what is real?
