Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're lookin' in the mirror
But you can't see yourself
What you see is a reflection
Of somebody else
[Verse 2]
Now if you wanna find you
You gotta look underneath that shell
It's where you'll find true beauty
That of a precious pearl
[Verse 3]
Don't you know you're beautiful
Just the way you are
You are, beautiful
You are beautiful
Just the way you are
You are, beautiful
[Verse 4]
She wants you to be like her
And he would love to be like him
You wanna be like me
Why can't we just be who we are?
[Verse 5]
I was young I wanted my hair straight
Thought the frizzy look wouldn't suit my face
I'd blow it out but that wasn't enough
Until chemicals would break my hair, oh-oh
[Verse 6]
But then I knew God gave me a sign
I had to love myself so I could shine
I would let my fro grow back
And wear a fisted comb instead
And put on a shirt that said "Black and proud"
[Verse 7]
Beautiful
Just the way you are
You are, beautiful
You are beautiful
Just the way you are
You are, beautiful
[Verse 8]
You are beautiful
Just the way you are
You are, beautiful
You are beautiful
Just the way you are
You are, beautiful
[Verse 9]
Your lips, your nose
Your cheeks, your eyes
Your hair, your skin
Your ears, your smile
Your lips, your nose
Your cheeks, your eyes
Your hair, your skin
Your ears, your smile
[Verse 10]
You're, beautiful
You're, beautiful
You're, beautiful
You are, beautiful
[Verse 11]
You are, beautiful
You are, beautiful
You are, beautiful
You are, beautiful
