When a girl can't be herself no more

In the morning from the minute that I wake up
Bb Gm Cm
What if I don't want to put on all that make up?
Bb Gm Cm
Who says I must conceal what I'm made of?
Bb Gm
Maybe all this Maybelline is covering my self-esteem
Cm Bb Gm Cm
Whose job is it to straighten out my curves?
Bb Gm Cm
I'm so tired of that image, that's my word
Bb Gm Cm
What if today I don't feel like putting heels on?

Uh, uh, I'm so secure with insecurities

Think it into existence, do it, then achieve
Cm Bb Gm
A fairy tale reality, beauty was with a beast
Cm Bb Gm
Uh, uh, I'm the image of your reflection
Cm Bb Gm
Eh, eh, you're the image of my reflection
Cm Bb Gm Cm Bb Gm
Sing, sing, sing, why, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh why, oh?
