I got a poster on my wall
That tells me what I could be
I need to be perfect, thin and tall
Then beautiful would be me

Am I only pretty if I'm her?
Must I be a cover girl?
Is there nothing pretty about my heart?
Now won’t you tell me

What does it mean, to be beautiful?
And what part of me isn't beautiful?
I ain't gotta be fly, I ain’t 'bout to jump high
Just to catch a shooting star
Here today and gone tomorrow
I don't know how to be beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

And I got this mirror on my wall
That looks at me every day
It tells me ain't nothing wrong at all
Ain't nothing wrong with me

I'm not only pretty but I'm strong
Don't care ’bout no magazines
’Cause what it shows ain't me at all
So let me tell you

What it means, to be beautiful
And what part of me isn’t beautiful?
I ain't gotta be fly, I ain't 'bout to jump high
Just to catch a shooting star
Here today and gone tomorrow
I don’t know how to be beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

What it means, to be beautiful
And what part of me isn't beautiful?
I ain't gotta be fly, I ain't 'bout to jump high
Just to catch a shooting star
Here today and gone tomorrow
I don't know how to be beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Beautiful
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Beautiful
What does it mean?
Beautiful
What does it mean?
Beautiful
What it means?
To be beautiful
And what part of me isn't beautiful?

Tiwa Savage

When Savage stepped onto Nigeria’s musical landscape, she didn’t know what to expect. Moreover, she received a lot of ridicule and hostility from people who believed she wouldn’t make it. She said that numerous people tried to discourage her from settling in Nigeria. Moreover, people told her that she wouldn’t be welcome as a female singer. Furthermore, they said that she wouldn’t be able to share the same stage with the likes of Tuface and Wizkid. Savage didn’t allow people’s negative connotation of her discourage her from doing music. She released her debut single “Kele Kele Love”. The song made its way to the top of several Nigerian music charts.
