Lyrics
I stand before my mirror and criticize the view
I say if only I was beautiful then you might love me too
If only I had pretty clothes, if only I had a turned up nose
If only I was beautiful to you
Itís a hopeless situation and itís got me so confused
How can I hate this torture and yet kind of like it too
My feet hardly touch the ground and it would keep my world from crashing down
If only I was beautiful to you
Iím not feeling sorry for myself
Sometimes a girl just wishes she looked like someone else
Someone who might catch your eye
If that someone was walking by
Reality is calling, Iíd better answer soon
And when I do I promise Iíll stop running after you
But until the facts Iím forced to face, upon each star that falls my way
Iíll make a wish that I was beautiful to you
I only wish that I was beautiful to you
Oh if only I was beautiful to you
