Velveteen — текст песни (Kathy Mar)

Reference: If you don`t figure this one out, you`re hopeless! :-)
C FMaj7 G E7
When I was born and taken home all snuggled close and warm
Am Dm Dsus4 G
I didn`t know at all that there were defects in my form
C Dm E7 Am
The years and all they brought to me have left their marks behind
Dm C G C
But if someone can love me still I`m sure that I won`t mind

Dm C E7 Am
I can only wish someone will know just how I feel
F C G C
And love me when I`m shabby, quite enough to make me real


I`ve often heard the stories of the ones that love made real
And often I have thought that I would someday learn to feel
I sit here only watching at the borders of my life
And the fear of never being loved has pierced me like a knife

I can only wish someone will know just how I feel
And love me when I`m shabby, quite enough to make me real


Now someone special in my life has made my wish occur
In spite of my misshapen form and shabby worn-out fur
I know that I am loved each time I see that someone`s eyes
They tell me I am real in ways that nothing can disguise

And I have got my wish for someone who knows just how I feel
He`s loved me, though I`m shabby, quite enough to make me real


Now all you ladies worried `cause your shape is not quite true
And all you men with loved-off fur and scalp that`s showing through
And all you minds with failing seams and fear where all can see
Take heart from this true lesson from a worn-out shabby me

And I can only hope that someone will know just how you feel
And love you, though you`re shabby, quite enough to make you real
