Beauty lies inside the eye of another youthful dream That doesn't sell it's soul for self-esteem That's not plasticine Beauty lies inside desire and every wayward heart redeemed That doesn't sell it's soul for self-esteem That's not plasticine Don't forget to be the way you are [Repeat: x4] The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything Don't go and sell your soul for self-esteem Don't be plasticine Don't forget to be the way you are [Repeat: x4] And don't forget to be the way you are [Repeat: x4] The way you are
