I'm a picture that you see,
And ordinary girl, not complete.
I wake up in the morning,
I'm not beautiful, but a mess.
I don't put on make-up.
I'm not a girly-girl, I guess.
I'm a girl that's in the back,
The one that doesn't know where she's at.
I'm a girl not dressed in glam,
Trying to find out who I am.
I'm the girl who walks sort of slouched,
Who sometimes feels left out and has her ups and downs.
I'm a girl who doesn't care what others say,
The one that knows what decisions to make.
I'm the girl that always smiles,
Even by the simplest things.
I'm a chip off the block,
I sing even if I can't sing.
I'm the girl not made of glam, just the girl that you see,
And I'll find out who I am, even though I'm not complete.
