Lyrics
VERSE 1
Audition for a movie today
A pretty young girl, she's excited to play a doctor
But the director had to stop her and turn her away because
She got freckles on her face
Her hair is really frizzy and she's chubby in the waist, a cutie
But they were looking for a beauty, not her
So she went home took the makeup off her face
And ate a bowl of ice cream feeling her disgrace in the mirror
Just because
CHORUS 1
She wasn't beautiful enough
She didn't have the right proportions
She needs someone to build her up
She needs a drastic change in fortune
She wasn't beautiful enough
VERSE 2
She's ashamed of her race
Too much melanin clouding up her face, a human
But she felt more like a demon
No Love, so she said things that a human wouldn't say
And she did things just to push others away, she's hurting
Becoming very disconcerting
Someone told her, "Keep quiet 'cause you got nothing to say
You'll only cause trouble so just stay out of the way
You're worthless"
Just because
CHORUS 2
You're just not beautiful enough
Your hair don't hang down to your bottom
You need a man to build you up
You're not a princess, you're a problem
You're just not beautiful enough
BRIDGE
You could believe what they say about you
Or you could use it like a stepping stone
It's like the fuel for the fire in you
And when it's burning you're forever strong
You ain't gotta listen to whatever they say
You ain't gotta try to do whatever they do
You are not the problem don't be taken for a fool
CHORUS 3
Because you're beautiful enough
I know sometimes the system fails ya
But all you need is too stand up
Don't matter if anyone tells ya
Because you're beautiful enough
