Never gonna be the person
She wants me to be
Never gonna be the man you respect,
The man you admire.

Never gonna be a success
A star, or a high flying guy.
Got a car and a house, one rusts
And the other one crumbles.

Can’t you take me for what I am?
I will love you still?
Always gonna be a part of myself
That’s hidden away,
Always be judged by the way that I look
Not the way that I feel.
Can’t impress you with position and wealth
I must rely on my mind
Lost in a material world.

Chorus

And I need you still.
And I love you more.
May I hold you now?

Instrumental then repeat Verse 1 (slowing towards end)
