Underneath

You know that East Coast girls

Always say what we mean

And shy Southern boys

Often don't say a thing

But opposites attract

And you were drawn to me

And something 'bout you

Sparked my curiosity

They say that good guys

Usually don't come in first

Good girls fall for bad guys

But with us it's reverse

Not your average love song

Between you and me

The way the story unfolds

Defies gravity

Don't have to put on my makeup

I can leave out my contacts

Don't have to dress up for you

To think I'm beautiful

If I have a moody day

I don't have to act like I'm okay

I'm overdramatic

And you know how to handle it

Act natural be emotional

Show my insecurities

And I love the way you love me

For who I am underneath

I am

They say guys keep conversation

Short and sweet

And girls can talk for hours

Till they put you to sleep

But you're the one who

Checks up on me throughout the day

You stay on the phone

Even if there's nothing to say

Most guys that I know

Like to go out at night

But you leave that to me

Cause you're not that type

And we don't need

To do anything special to be happy

We got what we need

Make each other complete

Don't have to put on my makeup

I can leave out my contacts

Don't have to dress up for you

To think I'm beautiful

If I have a moody day

I don't have to act like I'm okay

I'm overdramatic

And you know how to handle it

Act natural be emotional

Show my insecurities

And I love the way you love me

For who I am underneath

I am

Layer by layer you unravel me

Sometimes I am rough around the edges

But you handle me gently

And layer by layer I uncover you

And discover a side of you

That I never knew underneath

Don't have to put on my makeup

I can leave out my contacts

Don't have to dress up for you

To think I'm beautiful

If I have a moody day

I don't have to act like I'm okay

I'm overdramatic

And you know how to handle it

Act natural be emotional

Show my insecurities

And I love the way you love me

For who I am underneath

I am

Who I am underneath

I love you for loving me

For who I am underneath
