Felicity vol. 2 movie - Tell Yourself lyrics

Song by Natalie Merchant<br /><br>

I know what you tell yourself, you tell yourself. <br>

Look in the mirror, look in the mirror what does it show? <br>

I hear you counting. <br>

I know you're adding up the score. <br>

I know, oh yes I know what you tell yourself, you tell yourself. <br>

<br>

Ever since Eden we're built for pleasing everyone knows <br>

And ever since Adam cracked his ribs and let us go I know<br>

Oh yes I know what you tell yourself, you tell yourself. <br>

<br>

Who taught you how to lie so well and to believe in each and every word you say? <br>

Who told you that nothing about you is alright<br>

It's just no use, it's just no good you'll never be O.K.? <br>

<br>

Well I know, I know that wrong's been done to you<br>

"It's such a tough world," that's what you say. <br>

Well I know, I know it's easier said than done <br>

But that's enough girl, give it away give it, give it all away. <br>

<br>

Tell yourself that you're not pretty, look at you, you're beautiful. <br>

Tell yourself that no one sees Plain Jane invisible to me, just tell yourself. <br>

Tell yourself you'll never be like the anorexic beauties in the magazines. <br>

Just a bargain basement Barbie doll, no belle du jour, no femme fatale<br>

Just tell yourself. <br>

Tell yourself there's nothing worse than the pain inside and the way it hurts <br>

But tell yourself it's nothing new cause everybody feels it too, they feel it too. <br>

And there's just no getting 'round the fact that you're thirteen right now.<br>

<br>
