Lyrics

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't Depend on how the wind blows, I might even paint my toes It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul I'm not the average girl from your video And I ain't built like a supermodel But I learned to love myself unconditionally Because I am a queen I not the average girl from your video My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India.Arie When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, I'm loving what I see I'm not the average girl from your video And I ain't built like a supermodel But I learned to love myself unconditionally Because I am a queen I not the average girl from your video My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India.Arie Am I less of a lady if I don't wear panty hose? My momma said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows But I've drawn the conclusion, it's all an illusion Confusion's the name of the game A misconception, a mass deception Something gotta change Now don't be offended this is all my opinion Ain't nothing that I'm saying law This is a true confession Of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with y'all So get in when you fit in Go on and shine Clear your mind Now's the time Put your salt on the shelf Go on and love yourself 'Cause everything's gonna be alright I'm not the average girl from your video And I ain't built like a supermodel But I learned to love myself unconditionally Because I am a queen I not the average girl from your video My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India.Arie Keep your fancy drinks, and your expensive minks I don't need that to have a good time Keep your expensive cars and your caviar All I need is my guitar Keep your Cristal and your pistol I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal Don't need you silicone, I prefer my own What God gave me is just fine I'm not the average girl from your video And I ain't built like a supermodel But I learned to love myself unconditionally Because I am a queen I not the average girl from your video My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India.Arie I'm not the average girl from your video And I ain't built like a supermodel But I learned to love myself unconditionally Because I am a queen I not the average girl from your video My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
