You are perfect to me.

by

Pretty, pretty please don’t you ever ever feel like you’re less then, perfect.

Lyrics

Perfect by Pink
Made a wrong turn
Once or twice
Dug my way out
Blood and fire
Bad decisions
That’s alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss “no way it’s all good”
It didn’t slow me down
Mistaken
Always second guessing
Underestimated
Look, I’m still around…

Pretty, pretty please
Don’t you ever, ever feel
Like your less than
perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing
You’re perfect to me

You’re so mean
When you talk
About yourself
You are wrong
Change the voices
In your head
Make them like you
Instead
So complicated
Look how big you’ll make it
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It’s enough
I’ve done all i can think of
Chased down all my demons
see you same

Pretty, pretty please
Don’t you ever, ever feel
Like your less than
perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing

You’re perfect to me
The world stares while i swallow the fear
The only thing i should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in lying and I tried tried
But we try too hard, it’s a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cuz they’re everywhere
They don’t like my genes, they don’t get my hair
Stringe ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that?
Why do I do that?
Why do I do that?

Ooh, pretty pretty pretty,
Pretty pretty please don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less then, perfect
Pretty pretty please if you ever ever feel
Like you’re nothing you’re perfect, to me
You’re perfect
You’re perfect
Pretty, pretty please don’t you ever ever feel like you’re less then, perfect
Pretty, pretty please if you ever ever feel like you’re nothing you’re perfect to me

Your life IS golden. God is proud of you.

I’m strumming my own freedom, playing the god in me, representing his glory. Hope he’s proud of me.

Golden by Jill Scott
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m taking my freedom,
Pulling it off the shelf,
Putting it on my chain,
Wear it around my neck,
I’m taking my freedom,
Putting it in my car,
Wherever I choose to go,
It will take me far,

[Chorus]
I’m livin’ my life like it’s golden
Livin’ my life like it’s golden, [X3]
Livin’ my life like it’s golden, golden,
Livin’ my life like it’s golden, [X4]
Livin’ my life like it’s golden, golden,

[Verse 2]
I’m taking my own freedom
Putting it in my song,
Singing loud and strong,
Grooving all day long,
I’m taking my freedom,
Putting it in my stroll,
I’ll be high-steppin’ y’all,
Letting the joy unfold,

[Chorus]

I’m holding on to my freedom,
Can’t take it from me,
I was born into it,
It comes naturally,
I’m strumming my own freedom,
Playing the god in me,
Representing his glory,
Hope he’s proud of me,

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I’m living my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, [X2]

[Chorus]

[Jill Scott:]
Livin’ my life like it’s golden,
It really matters to me, Ohhh

[Bridge X5]

You gotta be good to yourself, you can’t wait on nobody else.

by

Oh, when you’re traveling through the highs and the lows, make sure you listen to your spirit. You gotta take care of your soul

Be Good To Yourself by Ledisi

Lyrics
Be good to yourself

Sometimes we don’t listen
To what we already know
Take time to hear me
‘Cause you’ve got to be told

So busy looking for love
Like you don’t know your worth
Get it together
Even when it hurts

You gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You can’t wait on nobody else
(No one else)

Baby, be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love nobody, ooh
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)

Some days you feel like running
From everyone you know
The things that you thought might be right now
It ain’t necessarily so

So much on my mind
Need a break from it all
To get myself together
So I don’t fall

Gotta be good to yourself
(Be good to yourself)
You can’t wait on nobody else
(No one else)

Baby, you gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love, yeah
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)

Oh, when you’re traveling
Through the highs and the lows
Make sure you listen to your spirit
You gotta take care of your soul

Hold on, never give up
You can get through whatever
Always make time
For yourself, whoo

You gotta be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You can’t wait on nobody else
(No one else)

Baby, be good to yourself
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love nobody else
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)

Be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
You keep looking for the love from somebody else
(No one else)
You gotta find it from within

Yeah, be good to yourself, yeah
(Be good to yourself)
Oh, you can’t love nobody
(Oh, you can’t love nobody else)
Be good, be good to yourself

It’s a beautiful day.

There are no mistakes, just chances we’ve taken.


It’s a Beautiful Day by India Arie

Lyrics
Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we’ve taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now

Wake up in the morning
And get out of bed
Start making a mental list in my head
Of all of the things that I am grateful for

Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my heart and
I’m gon’ do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day

La la la la la la la la la [x3]
It’s a Beautiful Day [x3]

Life is a challenge not a competition
You can still smell the roses and be on a mission
Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart
Sometimes you feel like you’ve got something to prove
Remind yourself that there’s only one you
Just take a moment to give thanks for who you are
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today

Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my heart and
I’m gon’ do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day

La la la la la la la la la [x3]
It’s a Beautiful Day [x2]

Let’s make this a wonderful
Let’s make this a powerful
Let’s make this a Beautiful Day
It’s a Beautiful Day

Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we’ve taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now
