Verse 1:
Sometimes I shave my legs
An' sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair
An' sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows
I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on
Whatever feels good to my soul
Chorus:
I'm not the average girl from your video
An' I ain't built like a super model
But I've learned to love my self 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 wearin', I will always be
India Arie
Verse 2:
When I look in the mirror
An' the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
An' I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes
An' every word I sing, yeah
Chorus
Bridge:
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 the conclusion
It's all an illusion
Confusion's the name of the game
A misconception of mass deception
Something's gotta change
Verse 3:
Don't be offended
This is all my opinion
Ain't nothin' that I'm sayin' law
This is a true confession of a life-learned lesson
I was sent here to share wit y'all
So get in where you fit in
Go on and shine
Clear yo mind
Now's the time
Picture's on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cause everything is gonna be alright
Chorus
Verse 4:
Keep your fancy drinks
An' yo expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car
An' yo caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Crystal
An' yo pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silicon
I can prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine
Chorus
