Little girl, watching her reflection As she parts her curls into four sections She says, "I don´t look like them, I don´t look like her, and I don´t want what´s on my head" But baby girl don´t be mislead
Yeah, yeah Young woman reading magazines Thinking to herself, nobody looks like me Oh I´ve got all these curves, all this nerve Why can´t I keep a man? But baby girl if you love yourself you can
Can nobody love somebody that do not love themselves You are what you choose to be It´s not up to no one else So be great, be kind Don´t let them dim your light A woman like a sun should always stay bright
Little boy sitting in the bleachers Staring at, at his dirty sneakers Thinking my shoes don´t shine
Money is tight, I would never get a date But baby boy that´s not what it takes Young man, always at the center Finding ways to make his arms look bigger Saying, "You see those guys? They get all the girls, I just want to be like them" But baby boy, you´re spreading yourself thin
Can nobody love somebody that do not love themselves You are what you choose to be It´s not up to no one else So be great, be kind Don´t let them dim your light Cause a man like a sun should always stay bright
