Flawless

Perfect

Maybe it's Maybelline,

Maybe it's just me.

Me with my nerdy habits,

Yeah, I like hobbits and Harry Potter and Doctor Who

Are you to tell me what I'm supposed to be?

 

Because I like to read books

And I like how I look

And I am beautiful inside and out

And if you agree give a shout to the TV to

Stop

Telling us who we're supposed to be.

Because when you take away the make-up

And plastic surgery

And magazines

Then there is a beauty inside of you and inside of me

And look that up in the dictionary

You'll find a picture of a girl with braces and hair out of this world

And you know what? I like that girl.

 

Because she's not just "pretty".

She's not "pretty me"

She's just me.

M-E,

E-M-M-A

And that's all I have to say.
