Lyrics
Verse 1:
My mama insisted that I was a natural beauty
So many days she'd say,
"Baby you're too pretty to act that way"
But it didn't matter what she'd say to me
Most days I looked in the mirror,
But I just couldn't see
It took a long time
For me to find
That I was beautiful
Chorus/Vamp:
Somebody tell me
What's natural beauty anyway
Pretty is a state of mind
Beauty is a state of soul
Verse 2:
She'd tell me her story
All the while putting on her face
She’d take the time, scrutinize
Pluck the hair
Put on the makeup so it wasn't there
So it didn't really matter what she'd say to me
She’d stand there in the mirror
But, somehow, she just couldn’t see
It took a long time
For my mama to find, to find
Her own beauty
Ooooooo
Bridge:
All I could see were flaws
Couldn't get beyond it all
I'd try so hard to find that beautiful I
That she saw in me
Verse 3:
Little sister, please listen, you are a natural beauty
Honey you're too smart to think any other way
So don't you get so caught up in what they say to you
Take the time beyond the mirror
And make sure you know the truth
Don't take too long to know the beauty of your own song
Vamp:
Know that there's more to your soul
Than what glows, it's below
Digging deeply
Know that there's more to you than what others say or do
Realize, sister, realize, brother that you are valuable.
Tell me, what's the point of a pretty face
If beneath, there's no joy, no grace
What’s the point of a pretty face
If there’s no grace
You gotta know,
Realize honey
That you are wonderful
