I have many flaws you see
But none could ever compare
To how my eyes perceive myself;
A broken toy beyond repair
My greatest flaw-- it tops them all!--
Is that I'm never good enough
Not for my mother, nor for me
Nor for the boy that stole my love
And yet he says I'm always beautiful
He tells me I'm the only girl for him
But still I cannot bring myself
To believe a single word he's saying

And yet he says I'm always beautiful
He tells me I'm the only girl for him
