Skin Deep lyrics

[Intro]
What up, what up?
Listen...

[Verse 1]
What you starin' in the mirror for telling yourself you're ugly?
What you wearing those high heels for, when they're torturing your feet?
(You know they're killing you...)
Why you puttin' all that makeup on, hiding your pretty face?
Blowin' all your money in that salon, tryin' to find your place? (No)

[Pre-Chorus]
In this world, you fit in, or you're out
And you're made to believe that this is what it's all about

[Chorus]
And don't you know real beauty shines from within?
It's what you wearing under your skin
Your perfect imperfections
Led you in the wrong direction
And made you think that you are incomplete
But looks are only skin deep, oh oh-oh-oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Why you flippin through the magazine trying to be those girls?(Girl, stop it...)
Gettin' all frustrated, but it's not the end of the world
(It's superficial...)
So what if you can't get into a size three?
You're beautiful to me (beautiful to me)
Stop trying to be Tyra's top model
Girl, go and find your own road to follow
[Pre-Chorus]
In this world, you fit in, or you're out
And you're made to believe that this is what it's all about

[Chorus]
And don't you know real beauty shines from within?
It's what you wearing under your skin
Your perfect imperfections
Led you in the wrong direction
And made you think that you are incomplete
But looks are only skin deep

[Bridge]
From the sidewalk, to the boardwalk, to the catwalk
Girls talk about the way you walk, but it's not your fault
So if the girls talk and watch you like a hawk
They love to hate, and they can't wait to get inside and make you cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Just let 'em know that you hold ya own
Now being you is not all wrong
Do ya thang, let your light shine
They'll come around in God's time
And if they don't, just let it be
When they stop being shallow, then they'll see
Girl, I'm tellin' you, c'mon!
Just be yourself...
[Pre-Chorus]
In this world, you fit in, or you're out
And you're made to believe that this is what it's all about

[Chorus]
And don't you know real beauty shines from within?
It's what you wearing under your skin
Your perfect imperfections
Led you in the wrong direction
And made you think that you are incomplete
But looks are only skin deep, oh oh-oh-oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah
