Bridge
I'm beautiful,so beautiful,
I'm beautiful,dammit.
I'm beautiful,so beautiful,
I'm beautiful,dammit.
I'm beautiful,so beautiful,
I'm beautiful,dammit.
I'm beautiful,so beautiful,
I'm beautiful,dammit.
Go away,little girl,they used to say.
Hey,you're too far,baby,you can't play.
Hold on,Miss Thing,what you tryin'to do?
You know you're too wack to be in our school.
Too wack,too smart,too fast,too fine,
Too loud,too tough,too,too divine.
I said you don't belong.
I said you don't belong.
Too loud,too big,too much to bear,too bold,
Too brash,too prone to swear.
I heard that song for much too long.
Chorus
Ain't this my sun?
Ain't this my moon?
Ain't this my world to be who I choose?
Ain't this my song?
Ain't this my movie?
Ain't this my world?
I know I can do it.
Bridge 2
I'm not too short,I'm not too tall,
I'm not too big,I'm not too tall.
Ooh,don't let me start loving myself.
Ooh,don't let me start loving myself.
I'm not too white,I'm not too black,
I'm not to this,I'm not too that.
Ooh,don't let me start loving myself.
Ooh,don't let me start loving myself.
Bridge
It's time to call it what it is.
Don't play the naming game.
Become what you are born to be
And be it unashamed.
Go away,little boy,
I can hear them say.
Everybody on the block
Says they think you're gay.
Hold on,my friend.
Do you think we're blind?
Take a look at yourself.
You're not our kind.
Too black,too white,too short,too tall,
Too big,too green,too red,too small.
I said you don't belong.
I said you don't belong.
Too black,too white,too short,too tall,
Too blue,too green,too red,too small.
I heard that song for much too long.

Bridge
People always ask me,
Miss M.,how did you get so far on so little?
Shut up.
Well,I woke up one morning,
Flossed my teeth and decided,
Damn,I'm fierce.
You look good.
You can be just like me.
A godess?
Yeah.
Don't just pussyfoot around
And sit on your assets.
Unleash your ferocity
Upon an unsuspecting world.
Rise up and repeat after me,
I'm beautiful.
Chorus

Ooh,don't let me start loving myself.
