I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who's inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today(yeah)
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'
*Chorus*
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can by all the make-up that M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you find out who I am too
Be in the posistion to make me feel
So damn unpretty
I'll make you feel unprety too
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm bein' stupid, I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe to get rid of you and then I'll get back to me (hey)
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
Me, I'm trippin'
Repeat chorus 2x
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh(oh)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh(oh)
Repeat Chorus 2x
i love this song. who hasn't felt this way?
this song is definitely a good one. it's about the girl who doesn't think she's pretty and the guy she's with [or was with, whatever one] makes her feel like she's not pretty at all. and the part where she sings "Never insecure until I met you", well that makes a whole lot of sense. she's saying that before this guy, she didn't care what she looked like, and that she always did think she had the perfect body figure, and that she was so pretty and all of that, but now being with him, she realizes that she's not any of the above. but she feels like she has to be perfect to be with this guy, and of course she thinks she's not perfect.
very beautiful and meaningful song. i'd have to say at least 48% of the teeenage girls in america feel this way sometimes.
Just 48%? Women/girls are held to a different standard than men/boys. It means more if a man is educated and successful. It means little if a woman is; however, she had better be gorgeous (or at least thin) if she expects to have it easy. It's not only Hollywood and the print media perpetuating the double standard; it's men who need someone physically beautiful to make them feel like men. They are as much a part of the problem as the media; however, the bottom line resides with the female herself. It's her choice to feel good (or bad) about...

There are plenty of quality males who were raised well by women (and men) who taught them what is truly important. In the end, we all grow old; lose our hair; gain weight; turn gray; and talk about our bowels and the weather:) As for the song, the lyrics are obvious. It's a good song...
i like this song its meaningful and heartwarming i mean we all have had our depressing moments..;)
this song is great, but its the message that it send out that i think is really great. its about a girl who constantly is put down by her boy who makes her feel unpretty and insecure. The line "Maybe to get rid of you and then I'll get back to me", is the one everyone should lsiten to, cause any boy qhos like that deserves to be on their own! nobody has the right to make you feel unpretty!
Holy heck, this song is good. I mean, it has a good lesson, without forcing the point.
This is pretty good... I love this song and its meaning... it's so true!
I love the first two lines "I wish I could tie you up in my shoes, make you feel unpretty too" It's like saying-how about I treat you like you treat me and see what it's like to feel ugly.
This song means so much to me...I have such low self-esteem and I'm always feeling low about my appearance, "This boy doesn't think I'm pretty so I must suck" "I have to change my appearance so he will like me" and hearing this song means so much to me. When I first heard it I cried because it said "If u cant look inside u who am i to put me in the position to make me feel so damn unpretty" and thats exactly how I feel. You need to look inside yourself and say "I look good to me and thats all that matters" because beauty on the inside lasts forever, not the kind on your face
this song is the best that TLC have done....... i just heard about lisa left eye lopez today... its very sad.. she was very talented and will be missed... R.I.P xxxxxxxxxxx
This is a cool song, almost as cool as "No Scrubs" which is truly awesome.
