Lyrics
0:08I know what you tell yourself
0:13You tell yourself
0:16I know what you tell yourself
0:21You tell yourself
0:27Look in the mirror
0:31Look in the mirror what does it show
0:44I hear you counting
0:48I know you're adding adding up the score
0:53I know
0:54Oh yes I know
1:03What you tell yourself
1:08Tell yourself
1:11I know what you tell yourself
1:16Tell yourself
1:21Ever since Eden
1:25We're built for pleasing everyone knows
1:38Ever since Adam
1:43Cracked his ribs and let us go
1:48I know
1:49Oh yes I know
1:58What you tell yourself
2:02You tell yourself
2:06I know what you tell yourself
2:11You tell yourself
2:14I know what you tell yourself
2:19You tell yourself
2:25Who taught you how to lie so well
2:30And to believe in each and every word you say
2:42Who told you that nothing about you is alright
2:48It's just no use it's just no good you'll never be ok
2:59Well I know I know that wrong's been done to you
3:05It's such a tough world
3:09That's what you say
3:16And I know I know it's easier said than done
3:22But that's enough girl
3:26Give it away
3:29Give it give it all away
3:40Tell yourself that you're not pretty
3:44Look at you you're beautiful
3:49Tell yourself that no one sees
3:52Plain Jane invisible me just tell yourself
4:01Tell yourself
4:05Tell yourself you'll never be
4:08Like the anorexic beauties in the magazines
4:13Just a bargain basement Barbie Doll
4:17No belle du jour no femme fatale
4:21Just tell yourself
4:26Tell yourself
4:30Tell yourself there's nothing worse
4:34Than the pain inside and the way it hurts
4:39But tell yourself it's nothing new
4:43'Cause everybody feels it too
4:47They feel it too
4:56And there's just no getting 'round
5:00The fact that you're thirteen
5:03Right now
I know what you tell yourself You tell yourself I know what you tell yourself You tell yourself Look in the mirror Look in the mirror what does it show I hear you counting I know you're adding adding up the score I know Oh yes I know What you tell yourself Tell yourself I know what you tell yourself Tell yourself Ever since Eden We're built for pleasing everyone knows Ever since Adam Cracked his ribs and let us go I know Oh yes I know What you tell yourself You tell yourself I know what you tell yourself You tell yourself I know what you tell yourself You tell yourself Who taught you how to lie so well And to believe in each and every word you say Who told you that nothing about you is alright It's just no use it's just no good you'll never be ok Well I know I know that wrong's been done to you It's such a tough world That's what you say And I know I know it's easier said than done But that's enough girl Give it away Give it give it all away Tell yourself that you're not pretty Look at you you're beautiful Tell yourself that no one sees Plain Jane invisible me just tell yourself Tell yourself Tell yourself you'll never be Like the anorexic beauties in the magazines Just a bargain basement Barbie Doll No belle du jour no femme fatale Just tell yourself Tell yourself Tell yourself there's nothing worse Than the pain inside and the way it hurts But tell yourself it's nothing new 'Cause everybody feels it too They feel it too And there's just no getting 'round The fact that you're thirteen Right now
