Not the hair

We constantly
Change it up
Put on makeup
Shake the dye up
But we don't feel
Beautiful
We ask
Ourselves
Should I
Buy everything
Off the shelves
But when we do
We often forget
About Ourselves

Pretty is as pretty does
It's not the hair
That needs changing
We need changing
People need to
Listen to reason
Girl you're beautiful
And so is your man too

It's not just women
It's men, us non-binary
People too
To all my trans sisters
You're beautiful
The way you are
To all my working women
You don't need to dress sexy
To get ahead
And no you don't owe
Him head

Pretty is as pretty does
It's not the hair
That needs changing
We need changing
People need to
Listen to reason
Girl you're beautiful
And so is your man too

Now I'm gonna
Address my trans brothers
Listen here brother
You're enough
As a man the way
You are
Don't let the haters
Get you down
And to everyone
Men, women,
Transgender peeps too
Shave if you want too
Or don't
Either way it doesn't matter
Because you're beautiful
Either way

Pretty is as pretty does
It's not the hair
That needs changing
We need changing
People need to
Listen to reason
Girl you're beautiful
And so is your man too

When are we going
To stop looking at body parts
And instead look deep down
Inside for the hearts
Teenage  girls starving themselves
Because they think
Death is better
Than being big
Young Men taking
Steroids just
To get fit
Well let me tell
You something boy
You're handsome the
Way you are

Pretty is as pretty does
It's not the hair that needs changing
We need changing
People need to
Listen to reason
Girl you're beautiful
And so is your man too
