Music Was My First Love

Ugly Girl

I know beauty's in the eye of the beholder

I know beauty comes from within

I know you may be beautiful on the outside

But that only runs as deep as your skin

But sometimes when I look in the mirror

I can't help but see

An ugly girl, staring back at me

She don't want to face the world

She doesn't think she's pretty

And I know, I know it shouldn't matter

And I know it's not true

But this ugly girl is here today

And she doesn't want to talk to you

I know confidence is just an illusion

I know attractiveness comes and it goes

I know when you say I'm not beautiful

That's when who's really ugly shows

But when you say mean things to me

I can't help but feel

An ugly girl, lurking inside me

She's starting to hate the world

And it's not looking pretty

And I know, I know it won't make me feel better

To put other people down

But this ugly girl is here today

And it looks like she's sticking around

But don't let her out

You're better than that

And remember that

This feeling will pass

You shouldn't have to feel you're anything but beautiful

Don't ever let them make you think you're anything but wonderful

I know that you can keep her away

Just look in the mirror and say

Hey, ugly girl, staring back at me

You're no longer part of my world

I know I'm nothing but pretty

And I know, I know you'll try to come back

But I don't think you can

'Cause I know that I'm beautiful

Just the way I am
