[VERSE ONE]
Some people like to think that they're in charge
With the power to indicate what others do
Some people like to believe that they're large
So they can step on others dreams
And make them feel that they aren't useful
[VERSE TWO]
Look at me before you turn the other way
Do you see the sense in what you're trying to state?
Is there a reason why you choose to harrass me?
Or is it ignorance that makes you follow blame?
Tell me what you see!
CHORUS:
We all live in a colorful world
I'm not that different from the other girls
We all live in a colorful world
So say what you think
See if it bothers me
[VERSE THREE]
Is it my hair? Do you really think I care?
Tell me, is it my tan? Do you think I give a damn?
Would you like to stomp on all of me
So you can feel that you're more beautiful?
[VERSE FOUR]
Look at me before you turn the other way
Do you see an ounce of truth in what you claim?
Is there a reason why you choose to constantly bother me?
Or does it all come down to petty jealousy?
Tell me, is it me?
REPEAT CHORUS:
[BRIDGE]
Is it my hair? Do you really think I care?
See if it bothers me
I don't give a damn - a damn
[RAP]
Justify myself to you? It's not easy
And I shouldn't have to
Being like you is not what I'm after
To sacrifice what I just don't have to
Weather living it up or living it down
I don't need to be your circus clown
So just accept what you see
Otherwise don't bother me
REPEAT CHORUS and fade.
