D7
Well, I can't shake this, I can't fake this
I should just pay to rearrange this
Why can't that girl's face and mine trade places?
C7
My look so plain, my look so basic
I wonder why I'm so miserable
With all my airs and disgraces
Self-love at an all time low
(Uh, a little more positive this time, please) What?
[Ponte]
Words of affirmation must repeat till I believe it
I must let the nice words in, I must try harder to believe it
If someone will insult me, then I must block it and delete it
I must try it to like me, must try to like myself, myself
She'll like (Will you try again?) the way (Will you try again?)
She looks (Will you try again?) tonight (Will you try again?)
She'll try somehow to like the way she looks tonight
[Verso 4]
Though it isn't simple as it sounds
But when self-love lets you down
You must never sigh and fret
Get a grip, that's what I said
You must change the way you talk to yourself
There's only you that can do it, only me that can try
To love the way I look tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, woo, yeah
Outro:
Beautiful, I think we got it guys (Yeah, yeah, yeah, so fun)
Alright, everyone have a cup of tea now (Woo, woo)
