美國R&B天團［TLC］──另類搖滾／民謠／R&B曲──［Unpretty／不漂亮］

I wish I 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 whos inside there

The one with the long hair

Same old me again today (yeah)

My outsides look cool

My insides are blue

Everytime I think Im through

Its because of you

Ive tried different ways

But its all the same

At the end of the day

I have myself to blame

Im just trippin

You can buy your hair if it wont 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 cant look inside you

Find out who am I

To be in the position that make me feel

So damn unpretty

Ill make you feel unpretty too

Never insecure until I met you

Now Im 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 Ill get back to me (hey)

My outsides look cool

My insides are blue

Everytime I think Im through

Its because of you

Ive tried different ways

But its all the same

At the end of the day

I have myself to blame

Cant believe Im just trippin

You can buy your hair if it wont 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 cant look inside you

Find out who am I

To be in the position that make me feel

So damn unpretty

You can buy your hair if it wont 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 cant look inside you

Find out who am I

To be in the position that make me feel

So damn unpretty

And make you feel unpretty too

And make you feel unpretty

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

You can buy your hair if it wont 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 cant look inside you

Find out who am I

To be in the position that make me feel

So damn unpretty

You can buy your hair if it wont grow

(Hahahaha)

You can buy all the make up

That M.A.C. can make, but if

You cant look inside you

Be in the position that make me feel so
