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                    FI'm not the average girl from your video and I ain't built like a supermodel 
      G                           F             G            FBut I learned to love myself unconditionally, because I am a queen
    G                              F         G                             FI'm not the average girl from your video, my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
   G                              F             G       FNo 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)
