Unpretty

I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you?
Look into the mirror, who's inside there?
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today, yeah
My outsides look cool, my insides look blue
Every time I think I'm through, it's because of you
I tried different ways, but it's all the same
At the end of the day, I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he say so
You can buy all the make-up that MAC can make, but if
You can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in the position that made me feel so
Damn unpretty
Yeah, I'll make you feel unpretty too
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm bein' stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy?
Maybe get rid of you and then I'll get back to me
Hey
My outsides look cool, my insides look blue
Every time I think I'm through, it's because of you
I tried different ways, but it's all the same
At the end of the day, I have myself to blame
Can't believe I'm trippin'
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that MAC can make, but if
You can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in the position that made me feel so
Damn unpretty
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that MAC can make, but if
You can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in the position that made me feel so
Damn unpretty
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can buy all the make-up that MAC can make, but if
You can't look inside you
Be in the position that made me feel so
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
