[Verse 1]
Cm Bb Gm Cm
In the morning from the minute that I wake up
Bb Gm Cm
What if I don't want to put on all that make up?
Bb Gm Cm
Who says I must conceal what I'm made of?
Bb Gm
Maybe all this Maybelline is covering my self-esteem
Cm Bb Gm Cm
Whose job is it to straighten out my curves?
Bb Gm Cm
I'm so tired of that image, that's my word
Bb Gm Cm
What if today I don't feel like putting heels on?
Bb Gm Cm
Who are you to criticize when beauty's only in the eyes...
Bb Cm Bb Gm
Of the beholder, so behold her
Cm Bb Gm Cm Bb Gm
Sing, sing, sing, why, oh, oh, oh, why, oh?
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Cm Bb Gm Cm
Uh, uh, I'm so secure with insecurities
Bb Gm Cm
Why is being unique such an impurity?

Why are the numbers on the scale like a God to me?

All of these indifferences are based on our appearances
Bb Gm
We please to be appeased

The truest pleasure is the fact that we can breathe
Cm Bb Gm
Think it into existence, do it, then achieve
Cm Bb Gm
A fairy tale reality, beauty was with a beast
Cm Bb Gm
Uh, uh, I'm the image of your reflection
Cm Bb Gm
Eh, eh, you're the image of my reflection
Cm Bb Gm Cm Bb Gm
Sing, sing, sing, why, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh why, oh?
[Chorus]
