Song lyrics
I wish i could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who's inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today (yeah)

pre chours:
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'

Chorus:

You can buy *new* hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if you *say* so
You can buy all the make up
That M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out, who am I to
Be in the position to make me feel
So damn unpretty
I'll make you feel unpretty too

Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm being stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit'skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me (hey)

pre chours:

My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I believe I'm trippin'

Chorus

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (oh)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (oh)

Chorus x 2

I love the positive message in this song.
I'm not a huge fan of R n' B but this song is great and it just makes you feel better about yourself.

Everyone is beautiful

I'm not the prettiest girl in the world but many people say that my personiality makes up for anything.....Remeber that no matter what other peole say about you or how thet make fun of you,just look into yourself because the best beauty is in the inside and I've realized this over the years...REACH FOR YOUR DREAMS anything is possible!

This HAS to be one of the all time greatest R&B classics, along with greats such as Usher's 'U Got It Bad' and Tyrese's 'How U Gonna Act Like That'. This song marks a definite turning point in R&B, turning it into a smoother sound altogether. I would rate this song at infinity/ten, as it is my favourite song- it lifts my spirits when i'm down.
