What Makes You Beautiful
Ava Santos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the d-o-o-or
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is eno-o-ough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Baby, you light up his world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets him overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what he can see
You'll understand why he want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
So c-c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a so-o-ong
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when he look into your e-e-eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby, you light up his world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets him overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what he can see
You'll understand why he want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana
Baby, you light up his world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets him overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Baby, you light up his world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets him overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground
it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what he can see
You'll understand why he want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh Oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
The song "What Makes You Beautiful" by Ava Santos is a powerful message about self-confidence and self-love. The first verse begins with the line "You're insecure, don't know what for," indicating that the singer is addressing someone who lacks confidence in themselves. The next line, "You're turning heads when you walk through the door," highlights the irony of the situation - the person is turning heads and attracting attention, and yet they don't see their own beauty.
The chorus emphasizes the message of the song, with the lines "Baby, you light up his world like nobody else / The way that you flip your hair gets him overwhelmed / But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell / You don't know you're beautiful." This reinforces the idea that the person is highly desirable and attractive to others, but they are unaware of their own beauty.
The second verse continues with the same message, with lines such as "If only you saw what he can see / You'll understand why he wants you so desperately." The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the idea that what makes the person beautiful is their unique qualities and individuality.
Overall, "What Makes You Beautiful" is an inspiring song that encourages listeners to embrace and celebrate their own beauty, even if they don't see it themselves.
