Lyrics I Like Me - Jo Dee Messina

Ever stuck out like a sore thumb*
Felt awkward in your own skin
Ever sacrifice yourself, trying to fit in
Ever felt a little fat
Ever felt a little thin
Ever felt a little small and insignificant
Walked around in someone's shadow
Run someone else's race
Looked into the mirror
And not recognize the face

Oh, I'm not perfect
But who is
Hey it took me a long time
To get a handle on this
Oh I can't really help it
If what you get is what you see
I may not be your cup of tea
But I like me

Ever walk around on eggshells
Then overcome the illness
Felt the power of healing
And washed your hands in sweet forgiveness
Ever give yourself a break
From all those days you struggled
Know that it'll be okay
Don't make a pond out of a puddle
Cuz everybody's different
And everyone's the same
I really think our Maker
Wanted it that way

Oh, I'm not perfect
But who is
Hey it took me a long time
To get a handle on this
Oh I can't really help it
If what you get is what you see
I may not be your cup of tea
But I like me

Well I can't really help it
If what you get is what you see
I may not be your cup of tea
But I like me
