[Intro: Left Eye]
Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty
Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty

[Verse 1: T-Boz]
I wish could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you?
Look into the mirror who's inside there?
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli]
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through
It's because of you
I try different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'

[Chorus (Left Eye)]
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up
That M.A.C. can make, but if
You can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in the position to make me feel
So damn unpretty

Yeah, I'll make you feel unpretty too
(Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty)

[Verse 2: T-Boz with Chilli]
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm in-stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy?
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me, hey

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli]
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through
It's because of you
I try different ways but it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
Can't believe I'm trippin' (yeah)

[Chorus]
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up
That M.A.C. can make, but if
You can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in the position to make me feel
So damn unpretty (Oh)

You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up
That M.A.C. can make, but if
You can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in the position to make me feel
So damn unpretty

[Verse 3: Left Eye]
As I reflect back on what I used and abused
And detect that I need some clues to get through
To those that accused me of never being true
I'll lose if I play into this game and never know the rules
So how do I bring out the me nobody sees?
The forest for the trees
How about the woman behind the weave? (Uh)
The light from within is life is the only real remedy
Or find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty

[Break: TLC (Left Eye)]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty)

[Chorus]
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up
That M.A.C. can make, but if
You can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in the position to make me feel
So damn unpretty

[Outro: TLC]
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
(Ha, ha, ha)
You can buy all the make up the M.A.C can make
But if you can't look inside you

Be in the position to make me feel so damn unpretty
(Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty)
You can buy your hair if it won't grow

TLC

TLC is a trio whose musical repertoire spans over R&B, hip-hop, soul, pop, rock, funk, and new jack swing.

Consisting of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, rapper-singer Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, TLC found unprecedented success in the 1990s, not only as a musical group, but also for an extensive series of high profiled spats with the law, each other, and with their record label—all of which helped to solidify them as one of the definitive recording acts to emerge during the aforementioned time span.

The group, which is in fact the highest-selling girl group in America with 65 million records sold, is known for tackling important social issues in their music such as AIDS awareness, violence, domestic abuse, anorexia, bulimia, sexism, racism, and homophobia.
