Don't you worry 'bout your curly hair
Clothes that don't quite fit you anywhere
Voices echo in the gym
Another girl's had her first kiss
Please don't make too much of this
Darling
I'm so sorry that they pick you last
Try to say your foreign name and laugh
I know that you feel loud
So different from the crowd
Of big blue eyes and long blonde hair
And boys that stare
But, baby, know that
You'll grow up and grow so tough and charm them
Write your story
Fall in love a little, too
The things you thought you'd never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know
Know that she's beautiful
Ooh, keep on going with your silly dream
Ooh, life is prettier than it may seem
One day, you'll be up on stage
Little girls will scream your name
The days of tears
And failure fears
And "no one cares" will all make sense 'cause
You'll grow up and grow so confident, and
Write your story
Fall in love a little, too
The things you thought you'd never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know
Know that she's beautiful
Oh, so beautiful
Ooh, ooh, ooh
