I'm afraid I'm simple
Yes easy to critique
And I go in circles
Just exactly how it seems
No secrets in me
I am shallow I can be
Can I cover it up?
They told me I should be
A little smaller honey
And quieter
But I don't wanna be you
I'm sophisticated
And I'm funny when I wanna be
So don't cover me up
I wish I had a reason for lovin' me
I wish I had a secret to set me free
I wish I had a reason for lovin' me
I wish I had a reason so I could breathe
I'm afraid they got to me
Keeping my head high and you'll see
I still go in circles
Will you cut me a break please
I'm just doing my best
Still funny when I wanna be
So don't cover me up
I wish I had a reason for lovin' me
I wish I had a secret to set me free
I wish I had a reason for lovin' me
I wish I had a reason so I could breathe"
