Once upon a magazine
There I saw a beauty queen
And she challenged me to be something I could not be
She had the looks, the kind that kill.
With one look I felt so incomplete and obsolete
I can't compete, you can't compete…
So I'm lookin' in the mirror I'm tryin' to see mine,
Not the traces of the faces that I've seen a million times…
With Jesus in my life, Jesus in my life
I don't have to change

CHORUS
I'm a girl
Livin' in the world
Where wrong is right and my body is more important than my mind.
So come on girls, we've got to get together
You know we can't give up…
Ya know, it's hard enough to be a girl

So, you want a perfect girl
In a mini skirt and pearls
With a lovely disposition and changeable opinions
That may be nice, but here's the facts…
I won't sacrifice true love that lasts, for house and cash
I can't do that, I won't do that

So I'm lookin' in the mirror and I can't believe my eyes
Cause I'm seeing what's inside me for the very first time
With Jesus in my life, Jesus in my life
I don't have to change a thing

CHORUS

Gotta get your influence from something real
So c'mon live your life girl
God will give you the hope
If you just imagine
All that He can do if you want Him to
