You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning you're head when you walk through the do-o-or
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is eno-o-ough

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you

Baby,you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell you don't know
Oh!Oh!
You don't know you're beautiful
But that's what makes you beautiful

So co-come on you got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a so-o-ong
I don't know why you're being shy
And turn away when I look into you're ey-ey-eyes

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you,yeah

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh!Oh!
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh!Oh!
You don't know you're beautiful
But that's what makes you beautiful!
