beautiful - lil louis lyrics

when you say, “hey, beautiful”, you wonder why i look around
when you say you’re a lucky man, you wonder why i wear a frown
now, boy, don’t misunderstand, i’m very happy that you’re pleased
but we can’t see eye to eye ’cause my eyes have never seen
a girl that’s beautiful, a girl so wonderful, a girl deserving of a man who gives her love
like you…

you ask me why i’m insecure, blame it on experience
i tie it all back to my mama, she said i wasn’t worth a cent (not even a penny)
i heard i was ugly so often, thought it was my middle name
she said that my skin was too dark, i wore my color in shame
she said i’m so skinny i look sick, so i eaten til’ i was ill
and now that i’ve gained a few pounds she said she wishes i was thin (“you let yourself go”)
she said that my hair was too nappy i had to get it from my dad
so when i look in the mirror, all i see is what she said
that i’m not beautiful, i’m not wonderful, i’m not deserving of a man who gives me love
like you…

you asked me what i wanna be, i told you when i was a child
my momma, she gave me a present, it was a little barbie doll
she was so pretty, her eyes were bluer than the sunny skies
her skin was so fair and her hair was a much finer grain than mine
i used to lay her by my pillow and all i’d do is stare
attempting to imagine one day that i’d awake and would be her
you ask why i lie and why i have very little self esteem
but unless you fit in my shoes you’ll probably never ever see
that i’m not beautiful, i’m not wonderful, i’m not deserving of a man who gives me love
like you…
