[ Featuring Leroy Brown ]
I want to be loved for just who I am
Not what you would like me to be
I want to be seen through the eyes of love
Not looking to find fault with me
Take me as I am or just turn around
Walk away 'cause I truly believe
It's all compromise, love has three sides
There's an us, there's a you and a me
See me, be me
Long enough to know just how I feel
Know me, show me the respect I deserve
And until you realize that I have the right
To let my true spirit run free
Or I'll walk alone, I'll carry on
With the business of being me
Where do you get off? Who made you the boss?
We're meant to be sharing this love
Let's build on the best, accepting the rest
Celebrating the difference in us
See me, be me
Long enough to know just how I feel
Know me, show me the respect I deserve
And until you realize, I won't be denied
In the life for your comfort and peace
I'll go it alone, I'll carry on
With the business of being me
I love you, I do
But I'll do without you
If I know you will never know me, know me
If you can't see you way to see me, see me
The business of being me
