Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don¡¯t
|
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won¡¯t
|
Depending on how the wind blows, I might even paint my toes
|
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I¡¯m not the average girl from your video
|
And I ain¡¯t built like a supermodel
|
But I learned to love myself unconditionally
|
Because I am a queen
|
I¡¯m not the average girl from your video
|
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
|
No matter what I¡¯m wearing I will always be
|
The India Arie
|
|
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
|
Every freckle on my face is where it¡¯s supposed to be
|
And I know my Creator didn¡¯t make no mistakes on me
|
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I¡¯m loving what I see
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Am I less of a lady if I don¡¯t wear pantyhose?
|
My mama said a lady ain¡¯t what she wears but what she knows
|
But I¡¯ve drawn a conclusion: it¡¯s all an illusion, confusion¡¯s the name of the game
|
A misconception, a mass deception, something¡¯s gotta change
|
Don¡¯t be offended, this is all my opinion, ain¡¯t nothing that I¡¯m saying law
|
This is a true confession of a life-learned lesson I was sent here to share with ya¡¯ll
|
So get in where you fit in; go on to shine; clear your mind; now¡¯s the time
|
Put your salt on the shelf, go on and love yourself cause everything¡¯s gonna be all right
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks; I don¡¯t need that to have a good time
|
Keep your expensive car and your caviar; all I need is my guitar
|
Keep your Kristal and your pistol; I¡¯d rather have it pretty as a crystal
|
Don¡¯t need your silicone, I prefer my own, what God gave me is just fine
|
|
(Chorus x2: fade out)
