See the Good
Embracing Imperfections: See the Good in Me
Lyrics
I am quite the feisty thing
I am assertive and spirited.
No I'm not the kind of girl you'd bring
I may not fit the conventional expectations for someone to introduce to parents.
To meet your mom and dad
Suggesting a scenario where the speaker is not the typical choice for meeting parents.
But honey I'm so glad
Expressing gratitude for the partner's choice to focus on the positive aspects.
You choose to see in me the good and not the bad
Appreciation for the partner's ability to see the speaker's good qualities rather than the flaws.
There are times when I forget
Admitting occasional lapses in proper behavior or manners.
My p's and q's and lady-like etiquette
Forgetting social niceties and polite behavior at times.
But you don't get uptight
Highlighting the partner's understanding and lack of negative reactions.
No you don't get mad
Emphasizing the partner's calm response even when faced with the speaker's shortcomings.
Because you see in me the good and not the bad
Reiterating the partner's ability to focus on the speaker's positive qualities.
People come and people go
Commenting on the transient nature of people coming and going.
About a dime a dozen, row by row
Describing people as numerous and interchangeable.
They're here today and gone tomorrow
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of relationships.
And I don't want just anybody
Expressing a desire for a meaningful connection, not just any casual relationship.
I want someone who's gonna love me
Seeking love from someone who appreciates the speaker for who they are.
For the person that apparently I am
Desiring genuine love based on the speaker's true self.
Mine is not a perfect past
Acknowledging a flawed personal history.
I've made enough mistakes to last
Recognizing past mistakes and learning from them.
For my whole life through
Expressing commitment to personal growth with the influence of the partner.
But all because of you
Attributing positive changes in behavior to the partner's influence.
I try to keep my chin up when I'm feeling sad
Striving to maintain a positive attitude, especially in difficult times.
Because you see in me the good and not the bad
Appreciating the partner's continued focus on the speaker's positive qualities.
