[Intro]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh
[Verse 1]
I've learned to love me as myself
But when I'm with somebody else
I question everything I know
How can you say I'm beautiful?
[Refrain]
When the world can't love me to my face
When the mirror lies and starts to break
Hold me close, don't let me run away
Don't be afraid
[Chorus]
'Cause if you love me, you love all of me (Ooh)
Or none of me at all
[Verse 2]
I accept the things that I can't change about you (Ooh)
But can't accept the fact that I can't change myself too, uh (Ooh)
Wish I could fall in love with me so easily like you did (Ooh)
Bein' good to me like I am someone else seems so backhanded
[Refrain]
When the world can't love me to my face
When the mirror lies and starts to break
Hold me close, don't let me run away
Don't be afraid, oh
[Chorus]
If you love me, you love all of me
Or none of me at all
[Bridge]
All (Oh, ooh), everything the light touches
All, baby, give me light touches (Woo)
[Refrain]
When the world can't love me to my face
When the mirror lies and starts to break
Hold me close, don't let me run away
Don't be afraid (Oh, yes)
When the world can't look me in my eyes (Look me in my eyes)
When the darkness takes over my mind (Takes over my mind)
Hold me close, don't let me run away
Don't you be afraid, no, no, no, no, no
When the rain falls and I'm locked outside (Woo)
Will you be there, standin' by my side? (Standin' by my side)
Hold me close, don't let me run away
Don't be afraid, no, no
[Chorus]
If you love me, you love all of me
And if you love me, you love all of me
Or none of me at all
[Outro]
If you love me (Ooh)
If you love me (Ooh)
If you love me (Ooh)
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

This was the first song I wrote for the album, and it was something I needed to get off my chest. It’s about all of the times I go onstage and talk to the crowd and am like, ‘You guys show me so much love, so much support, and I want to thank you for supporting a woman who looks like me—a big Black...
