Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depending how the wind blows, I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes. I'm lovin' what I see
Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows
But I've drawn a conclusion: It's all an illusionConfusion's the name of the game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
I'm not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel
But I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queenI'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie-Video by India Arie
India Arie is one of those artists that always makes you feel good. Her music is positive and gorgeous. Heavy bass lines, an incredible voice, delightful orchestration, and a wonderful message.
I've liked this song for quite a while but it's become the theme song of my thesis (studying body image and all). Yay for India!
