I'm Not Your Average Girl

(Insturmental and Vocals)

Sometimes I shave my legs and

sometimes I don't

Sometimes I comb my hair and

somtimes I won't

Depend on how the wind blows

I might even paint my toes

It really just depends on

whatever feels god n my soul

(Chorus)

I'm not the average girl from your video

And I aint built like super model

But I learn to love myself unconditionaly

Because I am a queen

I'm not the average girl from your video

My worth is not determined by the price of my cloths

No matter what I'm wearing I will always be

I-n-dia Ar-ie



When I look in the mirror

I only one there is me

Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be

And I know my creator didn't make

no mistakes on me

My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes I'm lovin what I see



(Chorus)



Am I less of a lady if

I don't wear panty hose

My momma says a lady aint

what she wears but

what she knows

So I've drawn the conclusion



it's all an Illusion

Confusion's the name of the game

a misconception

a mass deception something's gotta change

Don't be offended this is all my opinion aint nothin that

I say is the Law

This is a true confession

Of a life learned lesson

I was sent here to share wit yall

So get in where you

fit in

go on and shine

Clear your mind

now's the time

Put it on the shelf

Go on and love yourself

Cause everything's gonna be just fine



(Chorus till fade)



Keep your fancy drinks

and your expensive minks

I dont need that

to have a good time

Keep your expensive car

and your caviar

All I need is my guitar

Keep your crystal

and your pistol

I'd rather have a pretty peice of crystal

Keep your silicone

I prefer my own

what God gave me is just fine

(Chorus to fade)
