A Dancer's Body

An Original Song By: Amy Alls

Well I don’t have a dancer’s body
And I don’t have a model’s smile
And maybe I will never be beautiful in your eyes
But, baby, I’d sure like to try

I have seen how you look at other women
I have witnessed that smile on your face
And maybe I won’t ever make you look at me that way
Because, baby, I know my place

I’ve waited so long to feel something inside more than dying
I’ve held on to hopeless devotion throughout all my crying
Now I am trying
To move on
Just as I am

If you can’t see the beauty within me
If you can’t look past all the flaws
Then maybe you should take a closer look at yourself
Because, baby, it’s all your loss

I’ve wasted my life hoping some day I’d be more than my face
I’ve fought my reflection and dealt with rejection from every place
Now I've set the pace
To move on
Just as I am

Even though I don’t have a dancer’s body
And I don’t have a model’s smile
And maybe I will never be beautiful in your eyes
But, baby, I’ll give you a try
