What Makes You Beautiful
Unveiling Beauty: A Musical Celebration of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
You're insecure
You lack confidence or feel uncertain about yourself.
Don't know what for
You're unsure of the reason behind this insecurity.
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
You attract attention and turn heads when entering a room.
Don't need make-up to cover up
You don't need makeup to hide or disguise yourself.
Being the way that you are is enough
Your natural self is sufficient and admirable.
Everyone else in the room can see it
Others can see your beauty or positive qualities.
Everyone else but you
You are unaware of your own appeal or beauty.
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The person admires how you brighten their world uniquely.
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
Your gestures or actions, like flipping your hair, overwhelm the admirer positively.
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
Your smile downwards makes it evident that you're unaware of your own beauty.
You don't know, oh oh
You're not aware of your beauty.
You don't know you're beautiful
You're oblivious to your own beauty.
If only you saw what I can see
If you could see yourself as the admirer does, you'd understand the intensity of their desire.
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
The admirer desires you strongly due to your appeal.
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
The admirer is amazed by your beauty at this moment.
You don't know, oh oh
You're unaware of your own beauty.
You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh
You're unaware of your own beauty (reiterated).
That's what makes you beautiful
Not knowing your beauty is what makes you beautiful.
So co-come on, you got it wrong
Encouraging you to realize the truth about your beauty.
To prove I'm right, I put it in a song
The song serves as evidence or a declaration of the singer's feelings.
I don't know why, you're being shy
Confusion about why you're hesitant or shy.
And turn away when I look into your eye-eye-eyes
Your avoidance when making eye contact is noticed.
Everyone else in the room can see it
Others recognize your beauty or positive attributes.
Everyone else but you
You remain unaware of your beauty despite others seeing it.
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
Reiteration of how you brighten the admirer's world uniquely.
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
Your actions, like flipping hair, overwhelm the admirer positively (reiterated).
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
Your smile towards the ground continues to show your unawareness of your beauty.
You don't know, oh oh
You're oblivious to your own beauty (reiterated).
You don't know you're beautiful
You're unaware of your own beauty (reiterated).
If only you saw what I can see
If you could see yourself as the admirer does, you'd understand their strong desire for you (reiterated).
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
The admirer desires you strongly due to your appeal (reiterated).
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
The admirer is amazed by your beauty at this moment (reiterated).
You don't know, oh oh
You're unaware of your own beauty (reiterated).
You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh
-That's what makes you beautiful
Not knowing your beauty is what makes you beautiful (reiterated).
Na na na na na na na na na na
Repetition of chorus and encouragement for you to realize your beauty.
Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
-The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
-But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
-(You don't know, oh oh)
-You don't know you're beautiful
-Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
-The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
-But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
-You don't know, oh oh
-You don't know you're beautiful
-If only you saw what I can see
-You'll understand why I want you so desperately
-Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
-You don't know, oh oh
-You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh
-You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh
-That's what makes you beautiful
Reiteration that your unawareness of your beauty is what makes you beautiful.
