Work In Progress (Growing Pains) Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
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 pass my celebrity.
That's where you'll find the real me.
To you, do I still look complete?

[Pre-Chorus:]
I got every material thing I could ever need. (Hmmm)
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. (Hmmm)
Staying faithful. (Staying faithful and what I'm tryna say is...)

[Chorus:]
Just like you sometimes I get down. (Just like you, I get down)
Sometimes I just wanna cry. (I just wanna cry)
Sometimes I get depressed.
And just like me, tryna be complete. (And just like me, tryna be complete, ohh)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress.

[Verse 2:]
Life can be difficult.
No one promised that it would be...
(No one promised it would be sunshine all the time)
Sunshine all the time, easy.
Some pain is guaranteed.
But it ain't 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.

[Chorus:]
Just like you sometimes I get down. (Get down, ohh)
Sometimes I just wanna cry. (Just wanna cry)
Sometimes I get depressed. (So depressed)
And just like me, tryna be complete. (Just like me, tryna be complete)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (We're all just, ohh)

[Bridge:]
Anybody knowing what it is to struggle. (Ohhh)
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".
Just like you... (Sometimes I fall but I feel your pain. We're all the same)
(We're all the same, ohhh I am just like you)

[Chorus:]
Just like you sometimes I get down.
Sometimes I just wanna cry.
Sometimes I get depressed. (So depressed)
And just like me, tryna be complete. (Oh just like, just like me) (Tryna be complete)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (Just understand we're all a work in progress)

Just like you sometimes I get down. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, ohhh)
Sometimes I just wanna cry.
Sometimes I get depressed. (Can you hear me, can you feel me?)
And just like me, tryna be complete. (I am, I am, I'm just like you)
Just understand we're all just a work in progress. (A work in progress)

Mary Jane Blige (born January 11, 1971 in Bronx, New York, United States), spent the first few years of her life in Savannah, GA, before moving with her mother and older sister to the Schlobam housing projects in Yonkers, New York). Some of her best known songs are Real Love, No More Drama, Family Affair, Be Without You, I'm goin' down, One, Work that, Mr. Wrong, As, Therapy, Right Now; the latest two included on her thirteenth studio album, "The London Sessions" released in 2014.

Her 1992 debut album, "What's The 411?" was recorded with Sean "Puffy" Combs, Dave Hall, Mark Morales and Mark Rooney. It was followed by "My Life" in 1994. "Share My World" marked the beginning of Blige's creative partnerships with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in 1997. Her fourth album, "Mary", was released in 1999, aided by material from Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Stevie Wonder, and Lauryn Hill.

After "No more drama" (2001), she reunited in 2003 with Diddy who produced the majority of the "Love & Life" album (2003).

That same year Blige's own imprint, Matriarch Records was born. "My Life II... The Journey Continues (Act 1)" (2011) was followed by "A Mary Christmas" in 2013.

In July 2014, it was announced Blige would move to London to record her thirteenth studio album with a host of young British acts, including Disclosure, Naughty Boy, Sam Romans, Emeli Sandé, Sam Smith and writers Eg White, Jimmy Napes, M.J. Cole. The results were the ten new songs included on "The London Sessions".
