Tell Yourself

Natalie Merchant

    Continues after the ad

    I know what you tell yourself, you tell yourself
    Look in the mirror, look in the mirror
    What does it show
    I hear you counting
    I know you're adding up the score
    I konw, oh yes, I know what you tell yourself
    You tell yourself

    Ever since Eden
    We're built for pleasing
    Everyone knows
    And ever since Adam crack his ribs
    and let us go
    I know, oh yes I know
    What you tell yourself
    You tell yourself

    Continues after the ad

    Well I know, I know that wrongs been done to you
    "It's such a tough world"
    That's what you say
    Well I know, I know it's easier said than done
    But that's enough girl
    Give it away, give it
    Give it all away

    Tell yourself that you're not pretty
    Look at you, you're beautiful
    Tell yourself that no one see Plain Jane
    Invisible me, just tell yourself
    Tell yourself you'll never be
    Like the anorexic beauties in the magazines
    Just a bargain basement Barbie Doll
    No belle du jour
    No femme fatale
    just tell yourself
    Tell yourself there's nothing worse
    Than the pain inside and the way it hurts
    But tell yourself it's nothing new
    'Cause everybody feels it too
    They feel it too
    And there's just no getting 'round the fact
    that you're thirteen right now
