Loving Me

This is a song, sung and written by India Arie. Something for a woman to take note of, so we will be reminded all the time..



VIDEO



Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't

Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't

Depend on how the wind blows, I might even paint my toes

It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul



I'm not the average girl from your video

And I ain't built like a supermodel

But I've learned to love myself unconditionally

Because I am a queen

I'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



When I look in the mirror the only one there is me

Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be

And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me

My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, I'm loving what I see



Am I less of a lady If I don't wear panty hose

My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows

But I've drawn the conclusion, it's all an illusion

Confusion's the name of the game

A misconception, a vast deception

Something's got to change



Don't be offended this is all my opinion

Ain't nothing that I'm saying law

This is a true confession of a life learned lesson

I have being sitting here and sharing with y'all

So get in where you fit and go on and shine

Clear your mind, now's the time

Put your salt on the shelf

Go on and love yourself

'Cos everything is gonna be alright



Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks

I don't need that to have a good time

Keep your expensive cars and your caviar

All I need is my guitar

Keep your Cristal and your pistol

I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal

Don't need your silicone I prefer my own

What God gave me is just fine
