Ridney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter how he looks baby
Give up
No matter how he looks baby
Give up
Give up
Give up
No matter how he looks baby
Give up
No matter how he looks baby
Give up
No matter how he looks baby
It's what's up front that counts
The inside
give up
No matter how he looks baby
give up
No matter how he looks baby
It's what's up front that counts
No matter how he looks baby
You see when you got somebody that loves you
You know they love
It's what's up front that counts
It's what's up front that counts
The inside
give up
No matter how he looks baby
give up
No matter how he looks baby

It's what's up front that counts
The lyrics to Ridney's song "The Inside" convey a message about the significance of inner qualities over external appearances. The repetition of the phrase "Give up" suggests that the singer is urging someone to not judge or dismiss another person based solely on their physical appearance. The line "No matter how he looks baby" emphasizes the importance of looking beyond surface-level attributes and focusing on what truly matters.
The lyrics also stress the idea that genuine love and connection are not dependent on one's outward appearance. The lines "You see when you got somebody that loves you / You know they love" suggest that love is not influenced by physical beauty but rather by the content of one's character or personality.
The chorus, "It's what's up front that counts," serves as a reminder that true value lies within a person's inner qualities and how they treat others. The repetition of this line emphasizes the core message of the song, encouraging listeners to prioritize inner beauty and disregard superficial judgments.
