Ingrid Michaelson Miss America Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm always making up my own time
I'm never where you want me to be
I'm always coloring outside of the lines
I'll never be the girl on TV
If I have my choices then I'm choosing me

[Chorus]
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
It's not the way I was born to be
Don't need a crown to make me a queen
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
Just like my mama she told me, "Girl
There's so many ways to be beautiful"
(Beautiful, beautiful)

[Verse 2]
I'm always crashing into something
I'm always breaking up the party
I'm the one who's always singing
Louder than the rest, louder than the others
(Louder than the rest, louder than the others)

[Chorus]
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
It's not the way I was born to be
Don't need a crown to make me a queen
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America) Just like my mama she told me, "Girl
There's so many ways to be beautiful"
(Beautiful, beautiful)

[Bridge]
I am beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
Just like my mama she told me, "Girl"
(Beautiful, beautiful)
"There's so many ways to be..."
(Beautiful)
I'll never be Miss America
(Beautiful, beautiful)
I'll never be
(Beautiful, beautiful)
I'll never be

[Chorus]
I'll never be (I'll never be)
Miss America (Miss America)
It's not the way I was born to be
Don't need a crown to make me a queen
(I'll never be)
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
I'll never be
Just like my mama she told me, "Girl
There's so many ways to be beautiful"

[Outro]
I am beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful
