Ledisi — If You Don’t Mind

Hit me!

If you don’t mind, can I be far from perfect?
Just can I be me?
Do you have time to see?
What a work in progress reeled in me
Spent many a night on my knees
‘Cause that’s the key for me to be free
A 1000 tears, a million goals
Just some ingredients that helped me to grow

Got to pay, added some sun and rain
Blended it together with grace
But still I have to wait
‘Cause he wanted me to be strong
For the days I know are long
And all my superpowers were gone
He said I’m making something better
I’m putting it together
Trust me

If you don’t mind
See, I know where I’m going
If you don’t mind

If you don’t mind, can I be, honest?
It was so hard to see
Every hard day
Every closed door
The very ingredients that helped me to grow

Got to pay, added some sun and rain
Blended it together with grace
But still I have to wait
‘Cause he wanted me to be strong
For the days I know are long
And all my superpowers were gone
He said I’m making something better
I’m putting it together
Trust me

If you don’t mind
See, I know where I’m going
If you don’t mind

I’ll set you free
I’ll give you me
I’ll be your source
Nobody can love you more
I have a plan
And tomorrow is in my hands
Taste and see there’ll never be another like me

If you don’t mind…

Got to pay, added some sun and rain
Blended it together with grace
But still I have to wait
‘Cause he wanted me to be strong
For the days I know are long
And all my superpowers were gone
He said I’m making something better
I’m putting it together
Trust me

If you don’t mind
See, I know where I’m going
If you don’t mind
