Turn off the camerasTurn out


Turn off the cameras

Turn out those lights

There is no use hiding me tonight

I don't need the makeup or fine,fixed hair

I can love me when no one cares

No, pefection doesn't exist

But to me, I'm pretty legit.  

Don't need a crowd to tell me how

I'm flawless so stop holding me down
