Beautiful


I've always been the smart one The one to get everything done That's how they describe me The fixer, the one we all want to be except me, I Just Want To Be Beautiful Friday night nothing to do Who would want to date me, who? I'm in no way pretty, I'll never be skinny I Just Want To Be Beautiful My sister is amazing Her personality is just blazing She cares for no one but herself And the number of trophies on her shelf Trophies who cares I Just Want To Be Beautiful They say that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder Then how come all guys give me the cold shoulder The state of my hair is always a hot mess The only thing i can do is ace that math test Math is great but, I Just Want To Beautiful The moon in the night sky Every day I stare and wonder why? Everyone stares mystified at the beauty it bares I don't need nor want it's million stares I Just Want To Be Beautiful Everyday I plan for a wedding I know I won't get And everyday I sleep with my face wet Tears dropping down my less than perfect face I just want my horrible life erased I Just Want To Be Beautiful Days and Days pass by He walks in my life and tells no lie He says i'll never be alone We have hour long talks on the phone But, I Just Want To Be Beautiful He tells of how i stole his love Flew away with it like a white Dove I laugh at his silly jokes As we have picinics under the big oak I Just Want To Be Beautiful One night we drive to the shore He tells me he likes the dress i wore Exactly like the one i had the day we met The word he speaks i hear but just don't get I Just Want To Be Beautiful The only thing you hear is the beating of our hearts As the amazing sun finally departs I look over to find him staring at me Then suddenly gets on one knee What's happening? I Just Want To Be Beautiful He talks slowly while looking at me "I want us together for eternity" I want you to be my wife I want you in everyday of my life I Love You, and You Are My Beautiful
