Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm lovin' what I see
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the
india arie
Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the
game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
but,Don't be offended this is all my opinion
ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with
y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie
Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silicone I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be india arie

i finally understand this song , and made me believe that no matter how i look i can be beautiful .i can be pretty i dont have to impress anyone & worry what anybody has to say about me . God made me & i have to appreciate it.
I sang this song every day till I believed it back in the fall of 2004! Of course i put my name instead of India's( No offense)Then I sang it even more till my friends learned it...now...its my theme song as my friends call it-Njeris song...I do love ur music India-please consider coming to Kenya.

THE TRUTH BETOLD | Reviewer: Child of GOD | 8/15/08
I just want to mention that INDIA is truly an inspiration. One of many gifts from heaven. Unlike me, she has embraced her heart and is shining like the LORD wants us to. Kudos India, we've never met in the physical, but I feel like I've known you all my life. Keep LOVE alive !!! from one of many sista's xoxoxoxo
I just downloaded the ringtone and the lyrics for one of my co-workers because when I get to feeling hopeless and down it ALWAYS PICKS ME UP. My co-worker has the lowest self esteem I know. I hope it is as good to her as it was to me.
Review about Video | Reviewer: SincerelyMe | 1/16/08
This song like many said before me is very uplifting. It shows us that it is a beautiful thing to be different. Not to fit in the mold as a supermodel, rich, or what have you. I am who I am and I love that person. Love this song and India Arie
This song is wonderful, it can really lift someones self-esteem up about themself...I think India Arie makes some of the best music that can be made...I have found myself down and out on situations that I go thru and to cheer myself up I listen to Video, There's Hope, and I'm not my hair.
India keep going its really helping someone out in the world.
I love the song it really expresses me and i love the wordds in the song. Its good to my SOUL!!!!!
