Don't tell me I'm a fantasy
I'm real, I'm flesh and blood
Your expectations are too high
I'm a woman, not a god
I laugh and cry
I win and lose
I love, I mourn
I bleed and bruise
Don't put me on a pedestal
It's much too far to fall
Just take my hand and walk beside
And I'll offer you my all
I give and take
I rant and rave
I hurt, I heal
I touch and crave
Don't act as if perfection lives
In the woman that you love
But cherish me with all my flaws
Just as God does from above.
