"Beautiful Girl" lyrics - SARA BAREILLES

You wanna walk into the room like that other girl does
The one that's always making everybody fall in love
You see - girl you're a lot like me
She rearranges all the light in the room so you're always in the shadows
Well that's what it feels like to you...
Baby, I've been there too
And I know how much it can sometimes hurt
You feel like the whole world has made you the ugly girl
Take it from me that you have to see it first

[Chorus:]
So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heeled shoes
To make him want to be with you
Let me remind you one more time...
That just maybe, you're beautiful but you just can't see
So why don't you trust me
They'll see it too you beautiful girl you

You wanna lay the blame on somebody else
All these tiny little minds that leave you up on a shelf
But okay, I've seen it done that way
Just in case nobody ever comes through
Riding in to come to your rescue
You still have a chance
You don't have to be asked to dance
I know how much you've been dying to say
Look how much everybody loves me
Guess who gets left when everyone else fades away

[Chorus:]
So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heeled shoes
To make him want to be with you
Let me remind you one more time...
That just maybe, you're beautiful but you just can't see
So why don't you trust me
They'll see it too you beautiful girl you
