Keke Palmer - Skin Deep Lyrics

What you starin' in the mirror for?
Tellin' yourself you're ugly
What you wearin' those high heels for
When they're torturin' your feet?

Why you puttin' all that make-up on?
Hidin' your pretty face
Blowin' all your money in that salon
Tryin' to find your place

In this world you fit in
Or you're out
And you're made to believe
That this is what it's all about

And don't you know
Real beauty shines from within
It's what you're wearin' under your skin

Your perfect imperfections
Led you in the wrong direction
And made you think that you are incomplete
But looks are only skin deep

Why you flippin' through the magazine
Tryin' to be those girls?
Gettin' all frustrated
But it's not the end of the world

So what if you can't get into a size three
You're beautiful to me
Stop tryin' to be Tyra's top model
Girl, go and find your own way to follow

In this world you fit in
Or you're out
And you're made to believe
That this is what it's all about

And don't you know
Real beauty shines from within
It's what you're wearin' under your skin

Your perfect imperfections
Led you in the wrong direction
And made you think that you are incomplete
But looks are only skin deep

From the sidewalk to the boardwalk
To the catwalk, don't talk
About the way you walk but it's not your fault
So if the girls talk, watch you like a hawk

They love to hate and they can't wait
To get inside and make you cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry

Just let 'em know that you hold your own
Now bein' you is not all wrong
Do your thing, let your light shine
They'll come around in God's time

And if they don't just let it be
When they stop bein' shallow, then they'll see
Girl, I'm tellin' you, come on
Just be your self

In this world you fit in
Or you're out
And you're made to believe
That this is what it's all about

And don't you know
Real beauty shines from within
It's what you're wearin' under your skin

Your perfect imperfections
Led you in the wrong direction
And made you think that you are incomplete
But looks are only skin deep, ohh, ohh, yeah
