Skin Deep Lyrics

What you starin' in the mirror for? Tellin' yourself you’re ugly What you wearin’ those high heels for When they're torturin’ your feet?
Why you puttin' all that make-up on? Hidin’ your pretty face Blowin' all your money in that salon Tryin' to find your place
In this world you fit in Or you're out And you're made to believe That this is what it's all about
And don't you know Real beauty shines from within It's what you're wearin’ under your skin
Your perfect imperfections Led you in the wrong direction And made you think that you are incomplete But looks are only skin deep
Why you flippin' through the magazine Tryin’ to be those girls? Gettin' all frustrated But it's not the end of the world
So what if you can't get into a size three You're beautiful to me Stop tryin’ to be Tyra's top model Girl, go and find your own way to follow
In this world you fit in Or you're out And you're made to believe That this is what it's all about
And don't you know Real beauty shines from within It's what you're wearin’ under your skin
Your perfect imperfections Led you in the wrong direction And made you think that you are incomplete But looks are only skin deep
From the sidewalk to the boardwalk To the catwalk, don't talk About the way you walk but it's not your fault So if the girls talk, watch you like a hawk
They love to hate and they can't wait To get inside and make you cry Cry, cry, cry, cry
Just let 'em know that you hold your own Now bein’ you is not all wrong Do your thing, let your light shine They'll come around in God's time
And if they don't just let it be When they stop bein’ shallow, then they'll see Girl, I'm tellin' you, come on Just be your self
In this world you fit in Or you're out And you're made to believe That this is what it's all about
And don't you know Real beauty shines from within It's what you're wearin’ under your skin
Your perfect imperfections Led you in the wrong direction And made you think that you are incomplete But looks are only skin deep, ohh, ohh, yeah
