Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum)
I used to care so much about what others think about
I almost didn't have a thought of my own
The slightest remark would make me embark on the journey
Of self-doubt, but that was a while ago
This girl has got stronger, and if I knew then what I know now
I would've told myself don't worry any longer, it's ok

'Cause a face without freckles is like the sky without the stars
Why waste a second, not loving who you are?
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable
They show your personality, inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

Whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa
I wondered if I could trade my body with somebody else in magazines
Will the whole world fall at my feet
I felt unworthy and would blame my failures on the ugliness
I could see, when the mirror looked at me
(Sometimes I feel) sometimes I still feel like
That little girl who doesn't belong
In her own world I reminded myself that

'Cause a face without freckles is like the sky without the stars
Why waste a second, not loving who you are?
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable
They show your personality, inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

A face without freckles is like the sky without the stars
Why waste a second, not loving who you are?
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable

They show your personality, inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

I used to care so much about what others think about
At one point in my life, I was consumed by the opinions of others

I almost didn't have a thought of my own
To the point where I didn't have my own ideas or beliefs

The slightest remark would make me embark on the journey
Any slight comment, good or bad, would affect me greatly and send me into a spiral of emotions

Of self-doubt, but that was a while ago
I struggled with feeling confident in myself, but that was in the past

This girl has got stronger, and if I knew then what I know now
I've since grown stronger and wiser, and looking back, I wish I knew what I know now

I would've told myself don't worry any longer, it's ok
I would've reassured my past self that everything is fine and not to worry

'Cause a face without freckles is like the sky without the stars

Why waste a second, not loving who you are?
What's the point of not loving yourself and being happy with who you are?
