When a girl can’t be herself no more I just wanna cry I just wanna cry for the world When a girl can’t be herself no more I just wanna cry I just wanna cry for the world (Repeat) verse 1 In the morning from the minute that I wake up What if I don’t want to put on all that make up? Who says I must conceal what I’m made of? Maybe all this Maybelline is covering my self-esteem Whose job is it to straighten out my curves? I’m so tired of that image that’s my word What if today I don’t feel like putting heels on? Who are you to criticize when beauty’s only in the eyes... Of the beholder so behold her Sing sing sing why oh oh oh why oh? When a girl can’t be herself no more I just wanna cry I just wanna cry for the world When a girl can’t be herself no more I just wanna cry I just wanna cry for the world (Repeat) verse 2 Uh uh I’m so secure with insecurities Why is being unique such an impurity? Why are the numbers on the scale like a God to me? All of these indifferences are based on our appearances We please to be appeased The truest pleasure is the fact that we can breathe Think it into existence do it then achieve A fairy tale reality beauty was with a beast Uh uh I’m the image of your reflection Eh eh you’re the image of my reflection Sing sing sing why oh oh oh oh oh oh why oh? When a girl can’t be herself no more I just wanna cry I just wanna cry for the world When a girl can’t be herself no more I just wanna cry I just wanna cry for the world (Repeat) Outro   (x5)

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson aborde le thème de la pression sociale qui pèse sur les femmes et les attentes de beauté qu'elles ressentent. Elle exprime la douleur et le besoin de se libérer des normes imposées, en soulignant que le véritable bonheur réside dans l'acceptation de soi, au-delà des apparences. L'artiste se demande pourquoi il est si difficile d’être authentique et pourquoi la singularité est souvent perçue comme un défaut. Cette réflexion sur l'identité et l'image de soi résonne avec de nombreuses femmes qui se sentent obligées de se conformer à des standards souvent irréalistes.
