Louise
Beautiful Inside Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Doesn't matter 'bout the clothes that your dressed in
It doesn't matter 'bout the colour of your skin
All that matters is you're beautiful inside


Uhah yeah

Just because you've got the looks and the body
Just because you've got the time and the money
Still remember to be beautiful inside


Looking from the inside out
Tell me what you find
Nothing means a thing if your not, beautiful inside


Try givin' up
The make up
Try givin' up
The dressin' up
Try givin' up
The pushups
And try livin' up
To higher aspirations


You don't have to be a victim of your ego
No you don't have to be self centered or decietful
You'll make it happen if your, beautiful inside


Lookin' from the inside out
Tell me what you find
Nothing means a thing if your not, beautiful inside


Try givin' up
The make up
Try givin' up
The dressin' up
Try givin' up
The pushups
And try livin' up
To higher aspirations


Try living with a heart to give instead of always taking
Respect each others right to be because we should be making
Little time in all our lives is full of inspiration
Keep reaching for
Higher Aspirations


Try givin' up
The make up
Try givin' up
The dressin' up
Try givin' up
The pushups
And try livin' up
To higher aspirations


Try givin' up
The make up
Try givin' up
The dressin' up
Try givin' up
The pushups




And try livin' up
To higher aspirations

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Beautiful Inside's song Louise carry a message of inner beauty and self-acceptance. The song speaks to the idea that it doesn't matter how you look or how much money you have - what matters most is what's inside. The opening lines "Doesn't matter 'bout the clothes that you're dressed in, It doesn't matter 'bout the colour of your skin" remind us that true beauty lies beyond the external appearances. The repetition of "All that matters is you're beautiful inside" serves to emphasize the importance of inner beauty.


In the following verse, the song encourages us not to become too attached to appearances or superficial possessions. "Just because you've got the looks and the body, Just because you've got the time and the money, Still remember to be beautiful inside". While looking good or having material possessions can be enjoyable, what truly matters is the way we treat ourselves and others. The song encourages us to look within ourselves and recognize the value of our inner beauty. "Looking from the inside out, Tell me what you find, Nothing means a thing if you're not beautiful inside".


The chorus repeats the same phrase as in the opening lines, further emphasizing the idea that inner beauty is fundamental, and encourages us to let go of external factors and focus on living fulfilling lives with higher aspirations.

@fantasy809

I love the positive message this song gives out :) Makes such a change from all the vacuous, shallow and looks-oriented messages that a lot of celebrities are pushing (whether intentionally or not)!

@MirjanaLfan

Well the message would be better if Louise wasn’t displaying all the things she’s telling us to give up in the lyrics πŸ˜‚

@soundseeker63

Well I have to say the message in this song is way more relevant now in today's selfie-obsessed social media based world than we ever could have imagined back in 2000! Someone should cover it at the very least because it needs to be heard!

@yelabombshell
