I was told I was Beautiful but what does that mean to you (Unpretty – TLC)

I often think this fits the category of “Best Song Ever”

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

TLC sang the same thing and empowered a whole new generation in a timeless fashion, including a mixed cover on the hit show, Glee.

Still, there’s nothing like an original. Enjoy the video, but the words and music more!!!

I wish could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who’s inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today (yeah)

My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I’m through
It’s because of you
I’ve tried different ways
But it’s all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I’m just trippin’

You can buy your hair if it won’t grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make up that M.A.C. can make
But if you can’t look inside you
Find out who am I too
Be in the position to make me feel so
Damn unpretty
(Yeah) I’ll make you feel unpretty too

Never insecure until I met you
Now I’m bein’ stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you and then I’ll get back to me (hey)

My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I’m through
It’s because of you
I’ve tried different ways but it’s all the same
At the end of the day I have myself to blame
Believe I’m just trippin’ yeah

I’ll make you feel unpretty

You can buy your hair if it won’t grow
You can buy all the make up that M.A.C. can make
