Don't You Know You're Beautiful

Kellie Pickler · Kellie Pickler [2008]

Hey little girl with your tangled hair,

Your tattered clothes

You're 15 and you're bound to bloom just like a rose

You're wishing that you had designer jeans

Like the ones you see in magazines

Yeah I know you'd give anything just to fit in

But your worth aint on a price tag, it comes from within



Chorus:

Don't you know you're beautiful

Don't you know you're beautiful

Don't you know you're beautiful

Just they way you are



Hey there little homecoming queen

In that back seat

I'll bet his brown eyes are promising you everything

I know you wanna be just like your friends

But he'll still love you if you don't give in

If those girls were being honest that have been where you're at

I bet you they'd tell you they wish they had their innocence back



CHORUS



So he left you for a girl that could be your twin

If you were 28 again

Let him go, let him fly

Keep your head up, get on with your life



CHORUS X 2
