She's not a beauty queen, seventeen with no self-esteem
(Everybody say) girl, you wanna dream
Sometimes, she cries at night
Telling God? I? m suffering inside. ? (Nobody there)
So, she laid her head and cry oohh

Baby, I see you trying (I see you trying)
And I see you crying (I see you crying)
Look beyond your fears and say
Baby, I love me this way

I? m not perfect, but I? m still beautiful
No one can bring me down, not even you
Get off my back, I? m telling all the world
I could make any change, if I wanted
But I feel so beautiful, just the way I am

Implants and surgery, push ups, low-calorie diets
(Didn? t work) no matter what you do, (Let me tell you)
It starts with you inside, you gotta say now
Baby, you? re worth it
Baby, I believe in you

Girl, I see you trying (I see you trying)
I see you crying (I see you crying)
Look beyond your fears and say
Baby, I love me this way

I? m not perfect, but I? m still beautiful
No one can bring me down, not even you
Get off my back, I? m telling all the world
I could make any change, if I wanted
But I feel so beautiful, oohh just the way I am

Oohh, I am so damn tired
I was thinking that, I? m not good enough for you (good for you)
I? m taking back my dignity
Loving me, for me oohh

I? m not perfect, but I? m still beautiful
No one can bring me down, not even you
Get off my back, I? m telling all the world
I can make any change, if I wanted
But I feel so beautiful

(I? m not perfect, but I? m still beautiful
