Deep Inside

"Deep Inside" is a song by American R&B singer-songwriter Mary J. Blige. It was third single released in the United Kingdom from her fifth album, Mary, and the second single from the album in the United States.

Like the preceding single, "All That I Can Say", it was a moderate success in the United States peaking at number fifty-one on the Billboard Hot 100, seven places lower than the previous single. In the United Kingdom, however, it was one of her least successful singles to date and Blige's first single to miss the UK top 40 since the first release of "Real Love" seven years earlier.

The song features Elton John, who plays elements of his song "Bennie and the Jets" on the piano, which "Deep Inside" samples. He does not provide additional vocals. The video for the single features Blige and her dancers performing to "Sincerity", which appears on the deluxe edition of the Mary album in the United States and the United Kingdom single of "Deep Inside."

    Deep Inside

    by: Elton John

    Yeah yeah
    Oh oh
    The problem is, for many years
    I've lived my life publicly
    So it's hard for me to find a man I trust
    I rarely trust
    And every time I find someone I like
    Gotta worry about if it's really me
    That they see
    And I thought you were the one, oh
    Deep inside I wish that you could see
    That I'm just plain old Mary
    Mary
    Deep inside I wish that you could see
    That I'm just plain old Mary
    Mary
    I don't have a lot of friends
    And sometimes I have to wonder
    Is it cash they see when they look at me
    'Cause they're looking for a ride that's free
    So I made the choice to be
    Good to those who were good to me
    Don't judge me or think I'm bitter
    For the evil God's allowed me to see
    I'm just Mary
    I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
    I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
    I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
    I'm just Mary, just Mary, just Mary
    Deep inside I wish that you could see
    That I'm just plain old Mary
    Mary
    Deep inside I wish that you could see
    That I'm just plain old Mary
    Mary
    Deep inside I wish that you could see
    That I'm just plain old Mary
    Mary
    Deep inside I wish that you could see
    That I'm just plain old Mary
    Mary
    It's the car I drive, the clothes I wear
    The diamonds, the furs, and the house
    Don't make the woman
    So I need someone to stand by me
    And supply my needs
    And I'm just plain old Mary
    Deep inside I wish that you could see
    That I'm just plain old Mary
    Mary
