Song: Freckles by Natasha Bedingfield I used to care so much about what others think about I almost didn’t have a thought of my own The slightest remark would make me embark on a journey of self-doubt But that was a while ago this girl has got stronger and if I knew then what I know now I would have told myself Don’t worry any longer, it’s okay Chorus: ‘Cause a face without freckles is like a sky without the stars Why waste a second not loving who you are Those little imperfections make you beautiful, loveable, valuable They show your personality inside your heart Reflecting who you are, who you are, who you are, who you are I wondered if I could trade my body with somebody else in magazines Would the whole world fall at my feet I felt unworthy and would blame my failures On the ugliness I could see when the mirror looked at me Sometimes I still feel like that little girl Who doesn’t belong in her own world But I’m getting better And reminding myself that a face Without freckles . . .
