[Verse 1]
What you are is what I see
What I see is what I want it to be
When I say I love you
What I mean is I really do
[Bridge]
I'm not the one who'll give you everything you need
But what I mean is that I'll try
I can't deny that I've been burnin' inside
For all the things I'll never see
[Verse 2]
So come on, be yourself, nothing else
Who could ask for any more?
And you know, they all love you
What is more, I really do
[Bridge]
I'm not the one who'll give you everything you need
But what I mean is that I'll try
I can't deny that I've been burnin' inside
For all the things I'll never see
[Guitar Solos]
[Outro]
So come on, they all love you
What is more, I really do
