If my lips were cherry

My skin pure porcelain

Would you have time for me?

Would you finally approve?

God gave me one face

I could paint me something new

Would I be enough?

Would I be someone to you?

Why must I treat me so unkind?

Sometimes, I do

I know that I tell myself lies

But my mind makes it true

I've tried to be perfect and I've tried to please

I've tried pretending there's nothing I need

I spend my life nervous, that I don't deserve

I'd give the whole world just to be proud of me

Be proud of me

If I sing till I'm breathless

Play my fingers to the bone

Would you notice me

Put me on your radio?

If I showed you my body

If I broke down on your screen

Shed my self-respect

Till there's nothing left at all

Why must I treat me so unkind?

Sometimes, I do

I know that I tell myself lies

But my mind makes it true

I've tried to be perfect and I've tried to please

I've tried pretending there's nothing I need

I spend my life nervous, that I don't deserve

I'd give the whole world just to be proud of me

Be proud of me

Be proud of me

Be proud of me
