You're Beautiful Lyrics

I once met this girl,
She's as pretty as can be.
I told her she was beautiful,
But she didn't believe me.

Frustration consumed me,
How could she not see?
Despite the perfection I perceived,
She sees inadequacy.

See, society has taught her,
To hate the skin she's in.
To compare herself to billboards,
To starve until she's thin.

But even if she made it,
Ignored her hunger pain.
Would she finally feel at peace,
Or would her sorrow remain?

Rejection, like an infection,
Breeding victims of disaffection.
So, pardon my interjection,
But we must go a new direction.

This isn't natural selection,
Rather a warped projection.
Women don't need your objection,
They deserve uninfluenced introspection.

I once met this girl,
She's as pretty as can be.
I told her she was beautiful,
But she didn't believe me.

Frustration consumed me,
How could she not see,
Despite the perfection I perceived,
She sees inadequecy.

Shallow words from shallow guys,
Cause pretty girls with tainted eyes.
Forced to believe their twisted lies,
In every mirror, inside she dies.

She cannot feel the love I send,
Despite my honest heart's intent.
I drown her in these compliments,
Yet somehow she still circumvents. Forget the American dream,
It will destroy your self esteem.
Happy lives need no extreme,
Beauty isn't what they deem.

You are perfect to the seam,
Don't deny you love ice cream.
If you're proud let me hear you scream,
As we burn their magazines.

I once met this girl,
She's as pretty as can be.
I told her she was beautiful,
But she didn't believe me.

Frustration consumed me.
How could she not see,
Despite the perfection I perceived,
She sees inadequacy.

All that truly matters,
Are those who truly care.
The opinions of the masses,
Is neither relevant nor fair.

So believe what I say,
And find happiness once more.
You're beautiful, you're perfect,
Of that you can be sure.

I once met this girl,
She's as pretty as could be.
I told her she was beautiful,
But she didn't believe me.

Frustration consumed me,
How could she not see,
Despite the perfection I perceived,
She sees inadequacy.

What she doesn't realize,
A point she surely missed.
If you're a truly kind person,
Ugliness does not exist.

You could throw away your make-up,
This you should not doubt.
If you are beautiful within,
You are beautiful without.
