[Intro]
Oh-oh, no-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
There's a place that I know
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away?

[Verse 2]
Or will you stay? Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out, will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am

[Chorus]
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me? Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

[Verse 3]
Like a diamond from black dust
It's hard to know what can become if you give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am

[Chorus]
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me? Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

[Bridge]
Don't run away, don't run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Don't run away, don't run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Will you love me? Ohh...

[Chorus]
Everybody's got a dark side
Do you love me? Can you love mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you love me?
Even with my dark side?

[Outro]
Don't run away, don't run away
Don't run away, promise you'll stay

Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
