Tell Me I'm Pretty

(álbum: Can I Be Real? - 2021)

Find the perfect picture out of ten
Wearing tons of makeup on my skin
It's a little much
But I think it's what they want
Dreaming up of a version of myself
Looking like a doll on the shelf
What have I become?
Maybe this is kinda dumb

I've been so caught up in pleasing you
I got lost in the likes and views
It's been way too long since I looked
In the mirror and saw the truth

Maybe sometime long ago
I forgot what I should've known, I
Don't need nobody else to tell me
Tell me I'm pretty
Caring too much all the time
Of what they think and what they like, I
Don't need nobody else to tell me
Tell me I'm pretty

I want you to like me for me
Not the girl you see on the screen
Baby, I'm worth more (I'm worth more)
Than some numbers or a score, hey (Than a score)

I've been so caught up in pleasing you
I got lost in the likes and views
It's been way too long since I looked
In the mirror and saw the truth

Maybe sometime long ago (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I forgot what I should've known, I
Don't need nobody else to tell me
Tell me I'm pretty
Caring too much all the time (All the time)
Of what they think and what they like, I (Oh, oh)
Don't need nobody else to tell me
Tell me I'm pretty

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
To tell me I'm pretty

There's so much more to me than what's out on the surface
The parts I thought were flawed are really kinda perfect
Sometimes I second guess but, hey, you know I'm learning
There's so much more to me than what's out on the surface

Maybe sometime long ago (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
I forgot what I should've known, I (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)
Don't need nobody else to tell me (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
Tell me I'm pretty
Caring too much all the time (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
Of what they think and what they like, I (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)
Don't need nobody else to tell me (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
Tell me I'm pretty

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
To tell me I'm pretty

I've been so caught up in pleasing you
I got lost in the likes and views
It's been way too long since I looked
In the mirror and saw the truth
