lyrics
Verse:
You've been staring at the mirror
Tryna see it clearer
The beautiful woman inside.
She always had residency
But you see a vacancy
That the makeup could never hide.
And there's a war going on
And you feel like you have to dress up to be apart of the team. (Yeah)
There is no team that would be foolish enough not to accept a queen.
Chorus:
And no!
This aint a song to make you feel beautiful.
(I want you to feel it on your own, yeah)
You don't need a song to tell you you're beautiful
(The mirror's made by someone else, your beauty is your own)
If there's a flaw just believe
There's no mistake in the world (You Are)
Beautiful
And no!
You don't need a song to make you feel beautiful
(So I'll just say - You Are)
Verse:
He used to have a daddy,
But now there's no daddy,
So Jimmy's selling rocks on the streets,
He's got money in his pocket,
And girls falling over him,
But he looks in the mirror and sees
A boy in the wilderness,
Looking for the answers,
Where is my daddy,
He used to love me,
I wonder what my life could be,
If daddy only told me,
Jimmy!
You're beautiful.
Chorus:
And no!
This aint a song to make you feel beautiful.
(I want you to feel it on your own, yeah)
You don't need a song to tell you you're beautiful
(The mirror's made by someone else, your beauty is your own)
If there's a flaw just believe
There's no mistake in the world (You Are)
Beautiful
And no!
You don't need a song to make you feel beautiful
(So I'll just say - You Are)
Vamp:
Say Yeah!
I am Beautiful
