Girl you're flawless


Girl you’re flawless

Just look at those curves

Look at those hips

You’ll have every boy licking their lips

 

Is that what you really want?

You don’t need those boys

To tell you what you’re worth by what you flaunt

Look in the mirror

At the hooks on your mouth

Now that right there I what I’m talking about

 

Girl you’re flawless

So wipe away those tears

I know your looks can’t be your fears

‘Cuz you’re the girl we all dream about

The one inside that screams to come out

 

Girl you’re flawless

When you dance around your room

Holding your hairbrush and singin’ “ boom, ka’boom, boom”

And late night walks when you lay in the road

Or when playing cards how you always refuse to fold

 

Don’t you know that?

I struggle with it too

I don’t belong on those magazine covers

I grew up hanging out on these back street corners

I ain’t no Hollywood up town girl

I’m a down in the dirt burn it up gal

 

Girl you’re flawless

And I know that-

It’s not how you look, or what you wear

It’s the other parts of you,

Like how you’ll chew on your hair

It what’s inside that matters you know

Not that string in your hair that’s tied in a bow

 

Girl you’re flawless

I know It’s hard to see

When you look in the mirror,

Just put on a smile and that’s what you’ll be

Fake it until you make it, right?

But girl you made it- your made it right

Don’t ever fake it though

Because girl, you are flawless
