I will not think that I am beautiful
Unless you tell me from time to time
I sometimes think the mirror lies
But you could give me a sign

I will not think that I am smart
Unless you tell me once or twice
Test scores could mean anything
But if you told me it'd be nice

I will not think I am talented
Unless you remind me every so often
Many people can do what I do, can't they?
If your heart would just soften

I will not think I am fabulous
Unless I see it in your eyes
So many other girls are just as good
My self-esteem daily dies

I will not think that you love me
But if you just say it...nevertheless
Is this a lot to ask for?
I really won't know...unless...
