Don’t you worry ‘bout your curly hair
Clothes that don’t quite fit you anywhere
Voices echo in the gym, another girls had her first kiss
Please don’t think too much of it, 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 blond 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
Keep on going with your silly dream
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 cuz
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
