"Proud Of Me" lyrics

If my lips were cherry
My skin pure porcelain
Would you have time for me?
Would you finally approve?
God gave me one face
I could paint me something new
Would I be enough?
Would I be someone to you?

Why must I treat me so unkind?
Sometimes, I do
I know that I tell myself lies
But my mind makes it true

I've tried to be perfect and I've tried to please
I've tried pretending there's nothing I need
I spend my life nervous, that I don't deserve
I'd give the whole world just to be proud of me

Be proud of me

If I sing till I'm breathless
Play my fingers to the bone
Would you notice me
Put me on your radio?
If I showed you my body
If I broke down on your screen
Shed my self-respect
Till there's nothing left at all

Why must I treat me so unkind?
Sometimes, I do
I know that I tell myself lies
But my mind makes it true

I've tried to be perfect and I've tried to please
I've tried pretending there's nothing I need
I spend my life nervous, that I don't deserve
I'd give the whole world just to be proud of me

Be proud of me
Be proud of me
Be proud of me
