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
