Don't You Know You're Beautiful
Kellie Pickler · Kellie Pickler [2008]
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
