By the reflection you seem to be so damn unpretty
By the reflection you seem to be so damn unpretty
I wish could've tied 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
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through
It's because of you
I try different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make up that man 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
Yeah, I'll make you feel unpretty too
By the reflection you seem to be so damn unpretty
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
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through
It's because of you
I try different ways but it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
Can't believe I'm trippin' yeah
As I reflect back on what I use and abuse
And detect that I need some clues to get through
To those that accuse me of never being true
I lose if I play into this game and never know the rules
So how do I bring out the me nobody sees
The forest for the trees
How about the woman behind the weave
The light from within is life's only real remedy
But by the reflection you seem to be so damn unpretty
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
By the reflection you seem to be so damn unpretty
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
By the reflection you seem to be so damn unpretty
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
Ha, ha, ha
You can buy all the make up that man can make
But if you can't look inside you
Be in the position to make me feel so damn unpretty
By the reflection you seem to be so damn unpretty
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
