I'm Willing

Taught myself to be, strong as can be.
Holding on to my dignity.
Walk into a room, can't help but hold my head high.
I can read a book off its page.
Throw a little shade
From the stage.
Look a million making minimum wage.
But I'm weak at the knees, when I'm with you.
I'm willing to dial back a little.
I'm willing to be a tad noncomittal.
I'm willing to wait, I've circled the date
of the next time I'll see your face.
Once again (once again)
I remember when we first met
It's a moment I can't forget.
You smiled at me, and my whole world just got
smaller.
Oh, the nights when you took me out.
Rolled the window down and shout,
"That's the stuff I'm talkin' 'bout!", heh.
You're the light in the darkest of worlds,
I'm a lucky girl.
Yes I'm willing, to wait a bit longer.
I'm willing to be a bit stronger.
I'm willing you dear
That you'll reappear
And treat me like the queen that I am.
Once again (once again)
Everytime I take a look in your eyes,
Just a little part of me dies.
It's a thought that I can't disguise,
but I keep coming back here for more.
Tell me, honey,
when you look into her face,
is there something else in its place?
Other than a smile filled with grace?
It enrages you, when it should be engaging you.
Yet,
I'm willing to carry on like before
I'm willing to be the one you adore.
I'm willing to try
to keep the shine in my eye.
If you treat me good, I won't be misunderstood.
Just be sweet to me like you should.
Be
Willing!
