[Verse 1]
I'm not perfect
I'm a work in progress
Might stand out
But sometimes I won't
And I don't always have to be that girl
Who's looking good from head to toe
So don't have those expectations, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
You want me to change when I don't need to
Need to
And if you
You don't approve, then I don't need you
Need you
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm still magical
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm still magical
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
You should know now
I'm the type who'll fall down
But it's alright 'cause that's who am
And I know I'll never be that girl
Who's always gonna get it right
So don't have those expectations, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
You want me to change when I don't need to
Need to
And if you
You don't approve then I don't need you
Need you
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm still magical
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm still magical
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
Oh, oh
And I don't wanna change for anybody, no
Oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
You want me to change when I don't need to
Need to
And if you
You don't approve then I don't need you
Need you
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm still magical
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm still magical
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Magical was written by Eddie Allen & Mychelle.
Magical was produced by Eddie Allen.
That song was definitely inspired by India Arie’s ‘Video’. At the time I was complaining to my co-writer that I’m always writing sad love songs.I wanted to write something that could boost me up and say “this is me, take it or leave it!”
