Alli Rogers Beautiful Lyrics

An only child in a lonely town
with her head held high and her hair flowing down
her mama told her ‘babe, you know you’re beautiful inside and out’
first day of school and the kids all laughed
as a kick me sign is placed on her back
fighting the tears she walked away
knowing just exactly what mama would say
I don’t need you, I don’t need you, I don’t need you cause I know
I’m beautiful, I might be slow, but I’m beautiful, my mama told me so
13 years and not much has changed
you’d think by now they’d stop calling her names
but she still fights the tears and walks on by cause she remembers her mamas words
way back when they needed to be heard
they give her strength to say to herself
time goes on and so does mamas strength
she says ‘babe, come here, I’ve got something to say,
your mamas’ not as young as she used to be
and sometimes I don’t know what daddy sees in me
and her baby said
you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful ,you’re beautiful, I know
you’re beautiful, you might be slow, but you’re beautiful
your baby told you so
