Try as I might
I'll never be so fortunate
As to spend forever by your side
Try as I do
I'll never be good enough for you
But I'll do my best to be everything that you need

Wishing and hoping
Has gotten me this far so far
And now I'm ready for something more
Wishing and hoping
Has left me all alone here
And I want to be good enough for you to keep me as your own

Make me your own
Why don't you

CHORUS:

And I I I
I'll never be your primadonna
That pedastal that you put me on
Is too lofty for me to fall down
And I I I
I'll never be your spotlight dancer
Too many chances that you'll keep me
Keep me on spinnin' around
Around

It's not what I am
That makes me what I've become
I won't change for the best dear, for you
It's not what I am
That makes you all that I want
But you'll always be perfect in my eyes eyes

Purest perfection
Why don't you

CHORUS:

But I I I
I'll never be your primadonna
That pedastal that you put me on
Is too lofty for me to fall down
And I I I
I'll never be your spotlight dancer
Too many chances that you'll keep me
Keep me on spinnin' around
Around

So wouldn't you
Like to see me in satin and lace
Prettied up for the pretty boy
Ready for your little show
So wouldn't you
Love to see me with wonder and grace
Plieting and prancing
So all of the world would know

But baby I'll

CHORUS:

I'll never be your primadonna
That pedastal you put me on
Is too high from solid ground

I'll never be your spotlight dancer
Too many chances that you'll keep me
Keep me
That you'll keep me around

Keep me
Why don't you
Keep me

Baby
Keep Me Around
