Don't tell me to behave,
Cos I'll never play that game
Don't tell me what to do,
Cos I'll never be uptight like you
Don't talk at me that way,
Cos I ain't never gonna change
And if you're talking about my life,
You're only wasting your own time.

Oh I'm sorry for blaming you,
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you.

The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same
and yet you call her a whore
They made me, excluded so cruel, and
Then there was you
You stood by me, ignored their words
You became, my best friend so true
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
You are there when I'm a mess
Talk me down from every ledge
Give me strength, boy you're the best
You're the only one who's ever passed every test
