miss america

Ingrid Michaelson

I'm always making up my own time
I'm never where you want me to be
I'm always coloring inside of the lines
I'll never be the girl on tv
If I had my choices, then they'd choose me

I'll never be miss america
It's not the way I was born to be
Don't need a crown to make me a queen
I'll never be miss america
It's like my mama she told me, girl
There's so many ways to be beautiful
Be beautiful
You're beautiful

I'm always crashing into something
I'm always breaking up the party
I'm the one who's always singing
Louder than the rest
Louder than the others
Louder than the rest, louder than the others

I'll never be miss america
It's not the way I was born to be
Don't need a crown to make me a queen
I'll never be miss america
It's like my mama she told me, girl
There's so many ways to be beautiful

I am beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
It's like my mama she told me, girl
There's so many ways to be beautiful

I'll never be miss america
I'll never be, I'll never be
I'll never be miss america

It's not the way I was born to be
I don't need a crown to make me a queen

I'll never be miss america
It's like my mama she told me, girl
There's so many ways to be beautiful

I am beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
We are beautiful, beautiful
We are beautiful
