Lyrics from India Arie.
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
I’m not the average girl from your video    
and I ain’t built like a supermodel     
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally     
Because I am a Queen     
I’m 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 the India Arie
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     
And I know our creator didn’t make no mistakes on me     
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I’m lovin’ what I see
I’m not the average girl from your video    
and I ain’t built like a supermodel     
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally     
Because I am a Queen     
I’m 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 the India Arie
Am I less of a lady if I don’t wear pantyhose?    
My mama said a lady ain’t what she wears but,     
what she knows     
But, I’ve drawn a conclusion, it’s all an illusion,     
confusion’s the name of the game     
A misconception, a vast deception     
Something’s gotta change     
but,Don’t be offended this is all my opinion     
ain’t nothing that I’m sayin law     
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson     
I was sent here to share with y’all     
So get in where 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     
‘Cuz everything’s gonna be all right 
I’m not the average girl from your video    
and I ain’t built like a supermodel     
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally     
Because I am a Queen     
I’m 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 the India Arie
Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks    
I don’t need that to have a good time     
Keep your expensive car and your caviar     
All I need is my guitar     
Keep your Kristal 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.
I’m not the average girl from your video    
and I ain’t built like a supermodel     
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally     
Because I am a Queen     
I’m 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 India Arie.
