When I look in the mirror, those voices inside my head
Where did they come from? And why do I believe the things they said?
They always tell me that I’m not good enough
So I’m not listening anymore, unless the voice is love
Cause I am the best that I can ever be
When I say “I love every single part of me”
How long have I been trying to be like someone else?
When the only thing I have to change is the way I see myself
When a magazine’s open, perfection is all we see
But who decided that’s what beauty really means
We’re always striving to be something that’s not even real
So I’m not looking there anymore, that’s not how I want to feel
Cause I am the best that I can ever be
When I say “I love every single part of me”
How long have I been trying to be like someone else?
When the only thing I have to change is the way I see myself
Look in your sub conscious
And the answer is inside us
With a little more awareness
I believe that we can change this
When you look at your sisters, brothers, parents, children too
Sometimes projecting the judgements we put ourselves through
We gotta remember kindness is magical spell
Our love can reach the rest of the world if we truly love ourselves
Cause you do the best thing you could ever do
When you say “I love every single part of you”
How long have I been judging everybody else
When the only thing I have to do is learn, learn to love ourselves

I never really understood what you were saying
And why your confidence was fading
He never really took the time to see what’s deeper
He couldn’t really see her
I walked alone and didn’t even see the problem
That needed urgent solving
When in the mirror all you see is imperfection
Then all you’ll feel’s rejection
CHORUS:
Beautiful people
Don’t have perfect parts
They don’t come in sizes
They come with beautiful hearts
The most beautiful people
That I’ve ever met
Love themselves
No matter what the world says
How many times I had believed what they had told me
Without even knowing
That buried deep within my sense of self-assurance
There was a gross disturbance
In the back of my mind
A subconscious understanding
Something’s wrong with me if I don’t look the same
Spend your life believing
All the lies they tell you
You’re never good enough and that you have to change
CHORUS
And all the people that are searching for your defects
Well they can’t love themselves unless they’re perfect
So how much love can they feel if we’re being honest
Because nobody’s flawless
CHORUS

Hungry & Horny

You sucked me in
I’m hooked on you
I can’t win
No matter what I do
You’re all around me
Everywhere I look
It’s not fair
You’re a snake
Setting traps all over the place
Never showing your face
You’re killing us slowly,
Sometimes quickly
Don’t you care?
But that’s how you wanna live your life
CHORUS
You want me hungry and horny
Crawling up to you and begging for another spoon of it
You want me stupid and lonely
But I think we’ve all had just about enough of it
We all pay
For the insults you spit in our face
Intelligence waste
Nobody needs you
Nobody wants you
In their life
I’m so sick and tired of your lies!
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I know I’m not alone
Maybe we all feel this way
But we don’t know what to do
Where to go or what to say
My new choice
I’ve decided to tune out
Your voice
Inside I rejoice
Nobody needs you
Nobody wants you
In their life
I’m so sick and tired of your lies!
CHORUS x2

So Hot Right Now

I know you’re looking at me
You just can’t help it
I know you want me so bad
You just can’t help it
Cause I’ve got my thick socks on
That really turns you on
Flat shoes and comfortable jeans
I know how to sell it
This is how I do it and you wonder how
Everybody tells me I’m so hot right now
I don’t need nobody here to check me out
I’m so hot right now
I know you love my scarf
You love the way I wear it
You know, around my neck
That’s normally how you would wear it
There’s nothing more sexy
Than practicality
My cardigan won’t come off
Cos its kindof cold in here
This is how I do it and you wonder how
Everybody tells me I’m so hot right now
Don’t need to be skinny or well endowed
I’m so hot right now
This is how I do it and you wonder how
All the fellas tell me I’m so hot right now
Even with some pimples and a monobrow
I’m so hot right now
And as this party gets hotter
I grab my bottle of water
That’s how I roll I’m just crazy
Oh yeah hydrating
This is how I do it and you wonder how
Everybody tells me I’m so hot right now
I don’t need nobody here to check me out
I’m so hot right now
This is how I do it and you wonder how
Everybody tells me I’m so hot right now
I don’t need nobody here to check me out
I’m so hot right now
This is how I do it and you wonder how
All the fellas tell me I’m so hot right now
Don’t need to be skinny or well endowed
I’m so hot right now
