You got your tongue pierced once
and you say you got another
that you can't show anyone unless it's under covers
But you're running around showing everyone your new tattoo
You got an A in class and you hope no one would notice
You're the smartest kid in school and it makes you self conscious
And your loser boyfriend's smoking out in the boy's room
I wish someone would tell you

you're a star the way you are
You know you're not fooling anyone, no
You got the eyes of an angel
Don't try to change, yeah
Everybody's got their scars
no matter what they tell you you're beautiful the way you are

And your mama's so happy you became a cheerleader
Homecoming queen just like your older sister
'til you died your hair pink and they said what were you drinkin
And it never did sink in
it don't matter what they think

you're a star the way you are
You know you're not fooling anyone, no
You got the eyes of an angel
Don't try to change, yeah
Everybody's got their scars
nevermind how ugly they are
no matter what they tell you you're beautiful the way you are

all the way you are
all the way you are
all the way you are

you're a star the way you are
You know you're not fooling anyone, no
You got the eyes of an angel
Don't try to change, yeah
Everybody's got their scars
no matter what they tell you you're beautiful the way you are

you're a star the way you are
You know you're not fooling anyone, no
You got the eyes of an angel
Don't try to change, yeah
Everybody's got their scars
nevermind how ugly they are
no matter what they tell you you're beautiful the way you are

you're a star the way you are
You know you're not fooling anyone, no
You got the eyes of an angel
no matter what they tell you you're beautiful the way you are
no matter what they tell you you're beautiful the way you are
no matter what they tell you you're beautiful the way you are
