Video Lyrics By India Arie

    mmm mmm oh
    yeah yeah yeah oh
    oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah yeah

    sometimes i shave my legs and sometimes i don’t
    sometimes i comb my hair and sometimes i won’t
    depend on how the wind blows i might even paint my toes
    it really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul ooh ooh ooh

    i’m not the average girl from your video oh
    and i ain’t built like a supermodel oh
    but i learned to love myself unconditionally
    because i am a queen
    i not the average girl from your video
    my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
    no matter what i’m wearing i will always be
    indiaarie

    when i look in the mirror and the only one there is me
    every freckle on my face is where it’s supposed to be yeah haha
    and i know my creator didn’t make no mistakes on me
    my feet my thighs my lips my eyes i’m loving what i see yeah

    i’m not the average girl from your video oh
    and i ain’t built like a supermodel oh
    but i learned to love myself unconditionally
    because i am a queen yeah
    i not the average girl from your video ooh
    my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes oh
    no matter what i’m wearing i will always be
    indiaarie

    am i less of a lady if i don’t wear pantyhose
    my momma said a lady ain’t what she wears but what she knows
    but i’ve drawn the conclusion it’s all an illusion
    confusion’s the name of the game
    a misconception a vast deception
    something’s got to change
    now don’t be offended this is all my opinion
    ain’t nothing that i’m saying law
    this is a true confession of a life learned lesson
    i was sent here to share with y’all
    so get in when you fit in go on and shine
    clear your mind now’s the time
    put your salt on the shelf
    go on and love yourself go on and love yourself go on and love yourself
    cause everything’s gonna be alright

    i’m not the average girl from your video oh
    and i ain’t built like a supermodel yeah
    but i learned to love myself unconditionally
    because i am a queen
    i not the average girl from your video
    my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
    no matter what i’m wearing i will always be
    indiaarie

    uh keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
    i don’t need that to have a good time
    keep your expensive cars and your caviar
    all i need is my
    keep your cristal and your pistol
    i’d rather have a pretty piece of crystal
    don’t need your silicone i prefer my own
    what god gave me is just fine oh

    i’m not the average girl from your video yeah
    and i ain’t built like a supermodel
    but i learned to love myself unconditionally
    because i am a queen
    i not the average girl from your video
    my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
    no matter what i’m wearing i will always be
    indiaarie
    i’m not the average girl from your video yeah
    and i ain’t built like a supermodel
    but i learned to love myself unconditionally
    because i am a queen
    i not the average girl from your video
    my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
    no matter what i’m wearing i will always be
