Lyrics
When a girl can't be herself no more I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world When a girl can't be herself no more I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world In the morning from the minute that I wake up What if I don't want to put on all that make up? Who says I must conceal what I'm made of? Maybe all this Maybelline is covering my self-esteem Whose job is it to straighten out my curves? I'm so tired of that image, that's my word What if today I don't feel like putting heels on? Who are you to criticize when beauty's only in the eyes Of the beholder So behold her Sing, sing, sing, why, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh? Yo, yo-yo 'Cause when a girl can't be herself no more I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world When a girl can't be herself no more I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world Uh, uh, I'm so secure with insecurities 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 We please to be appeased The truest pleasure is the fact that we can breathe Think it into existence, do it, then achieve A fairy tale reality, beauty was with a beast I, I, I'm the image of your reflection Ah, and you're the image of my reflection Sing, sing, sing, why, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh? Why, oh? 'Cause when a girl can't be herself no more I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world When a girl can't be herself no more I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world Oh Ay, uh! Oh! Oh
