Why won’t they love me
Why don’t they like me
Why won’t they pay
Any mind
I am beautiful
Aren’t I
Why won’t they notice
Why don’t they know me
Even when I feel oh so fine
They won’t take the time, why
I am beautiful
Aren’t I
Am I too little
Am I too big
What could it be
That detracts them from
My beautiful personality
Am I too forward
Or not enough
Should I try harder
Or do I try too much
Will they notice
If I switch when I walk
Will they watch
If I give my hair a whirl
Because I’d give the world
To be considered
A beautiful girl
Is it too much to ask
For a little romance
a little attention
Someone to show me some affection
With that,
All my other cares
Will lesson
I’ve went all my life
Watching the others shine
while I sat lonesome,and cried
now I'm changing,
I want it to be
My time
Because I'm beautiful
Aren’t I
