Alicia Keys - Girl Can't be Herself

[Guitars intro]

When a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanan cry, I just wanna cry for the world
When a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanan cry, I just wanna cry for the world

In the morning, on the moment that I wake up
What if I don't wanna put on all that make-up?
Who says I must conceal what I'm made of?
Maybe all this Maybelline is covering my self-esteem?
Who's job is to straighten up my curls?
I'm so tired of that image that's my world
What if today I don't feel like putting heels on?
Who are you to criticize when you are only [?]
Oh, baby, hold up to be hold her
Yeah oh oh oh oh oh
Ye-yeah yeah

'Cause when a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanan cry, I just wanna cry for the world
When a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanan cry, I just wanna cry for the world

I'm so secure with insecurities
Why is being unique such an impurity?
Why are the numbers on the scale like a God to me?
All of these indifferences based on our appearances?
We pleased to the appears
The truth with pleasure is the fact that we can breathe
Think that to exist into achieve?
A very true reality, beauty is with the beast
I, I, I'm the image of your reflection
A-a-and you're the image of my reflection

'Cause when a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanan cry, I just wanna cry for the world
When a girl can't be herself no more
I just wanan cry, I just wanna cry for the world
