Girl Can't Be Herself

When a girl can't be herself no more

I just want to cry

I just want to cry for the world

When a girl can't be herself no more

I just want to cry

I just want to cry for the world

In the morning, from the minute that I wake up

What if I don't want to put on all that makeup?

Who says I must conceal what I'm made of?

Maybe all this Maybelline is covering my self-esteem?

Whose job is it to straighten out my curves?

I'm so tired of that image, that's my word

What if today I don't feel like putting heels on?

Who are you to criticize if beauty's only in the eyes

Of the beholder?

So behold her

Say, say, say, why-oh-yo-yo-oh-oh-oh, yo, y-yo

'Cause when a girl can't be herself no more

I just want to cry

I just want to cry for the world

When a girl can't be herself no more

I just want to cry

I just want to cry for the world

I'm so secure with insecurities

Why is being unique such an impurity?

Why are the numbers on the scale like a god to me?

All of these indifferences are based on our appearances

We please to be appeased

The truest pleasure is the fact that we can breathe

Think it into existence, do it then achieve

A fairytale reality, beauty was with the beast

I-I-I-I'm the image of your reflection

Eh-eh-eh, you're the image of my reflection

Si-si-sing why oh, yo-yo, oh-oh, oh-oh, why-oh?

'Cause when a girl can't be herself no more

I just want to cry

I just want to cry for the world

When a girl can't be herself no more

I just want to cry

I just want to cry for the world
