Verse 1:
G                      F                    Em
  Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
G                     F                    Em
  Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
  G                            F                   Em
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
   G                          F                     Em
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
 
 
Chorus:
    G                              F         G                    F
I'm not the average girl from your video and I ain't built like a supermodel 
      G                           F             G            F
But I learned to love myself unconditionally, because I am a queen
    G                              F         G                             F
I'm not the average girl from your video, my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
   G                              F             G       F
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie
 
 
Verse 2:
       G                          F                 Em
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
      G                     F                      Em
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
      G                       F                   Em
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
   G                   F                  Em
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, I'm lovin' what I see
(Chorus)
 
 
Verse 3:
     G                   F               Em
Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
   G                      F                           Em
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows
          G                        F                   Em
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the game
  G                F               Em
A misconception, a vast deception, something's gotta change
 
 
Verse 4:
    G                           F                     Em
But don't be offended,  this is all my opinion, ain't nothing that I'm saying' law
          G                    F                         Em
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with y'all
       G                       F             Em
So get in where you fit in, go on and shine, clear your mind, now's the time
         G                            F                  Em
Put your salt on the shelf, go on and love yourself, cuz everything's gonna be all right
(Chorus)
 
 
Bridge:
          G                       F                      Em
Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks, I don't need that to have a good time
            G                    F       Em
Keep your expensive car and your caviar, all I need is my guitar
          G                F           Em
Keep your Kristal and your pistol, I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
                G              F                Em
Don't need your silicone, I prefer my own, what God gave me is just fine
(Chorus)
