Let me help you recognize the type of woman that I am.

You could have a bank account stacked with Benjamin's.

Offer me

anything I could ever imagine.

Expect me to jump on board.

Not who I am.

You could have nothing to your name.

If I want you,

I will be the one to stand, by your side to help you bring back your pride.

So let me help you recognize the type of woman that I am.

My heart, my family can not be bought.

Money doesn't buy happiness.

Take a closer look, into my eyes what do you see?

Because I am alone doing this alone.

You think you found the words I wanted to hear?

Let me help you recognize

The type of woman I am.

I am the type of woman, that will take her man by the hand

Give words of encouragement.

Help lift him up to where he knows he can.

Let me provide when you can't.

Because I know I can.

Lean on me I will be your backbone.

Look, are you starting to see the type of woman that I am?

I don't know, what you dealt with before.

A gold digger!

That is not I.

Your mind is all messed up.

So look into my eyes

Can you see my pride?

The love I can offer.

We could have nothing to our name.

I can still love just the same.

Look, are you starting to see the type of woman that I am?

I want a love that will help hold each other up.

Giving each other strength.

Taking away the others fear

Are you starting to see?

Just by a little of what I say.

Now can you look into my eyes?

Look deeper

I am stronger than what you think.

Look, are you starting to see the type of woman that I am?
