Too Much Time

Beauty charms the world, I learned long ago
I wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe
They all love the picture of perfection
If I'm everything they think that I should be

But I've spent too much time worryin' 'bout looking pretty
Gonna pay no mind to those women on the TV
Maybe I'm just fine the way that God created me
I've spent too much time tryin' to please everybody
Wasted too much time wonderin' when he's gonna call me
Now I see, I've got to take care of me

Lipstick smiles might take me where I want to go
But will that place nurture my soul?
They loved Marilyn who had it all
But did she ever find real happiness at all?

But I've spent too much time worryin' 'bout looking pretty
Gonna pay no mind to those women on the TV
Maybe I'm just fine the way that God created me
I've spent too much time tryin' to please everybody
Wasted too much time wonderin' when he's gonna call me
Now I see, I've got to take care of me

Don't you know I'm more than my reflection?
Underestimate me and you'll see

I've spent too much time worryin' 'bout looking pretty
Gonna pay no mind to those women on the TV
Maybe I'm just fine, the way that God created me
I've spent too much time tryin' to please everybody
Wasted too much time wonderin' when he's gonna call
You know it's just high time, I started takin' care of me
