Ingrid Michaelson – Miss America (Duet Version) lyrics

[Verse 1: Ingrid Michaelson]
I'm always making up my own time
I'm never where you want me to be
I'm always coloring outside of the lines
I'll never be the girl on TV
If I have my choices then I'm choosing me

[Chorus: Ingrid Michaelson & Sara Bareilles]
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
It's not the way I was born to be
Don't need a crown to make me a queen
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
It's like my mama she told me, "Girl
There's so many ways to be beautiful"
(be beautiful, beautiful)

[Verse 2: Sara Bareilles]
I'm always crashing into something
I'm always breaking up the party (breaking up the party)
I'm the one who's always singing
Louder than the rest, louder than the others
Louder than the rest, louder than the others

[Chorus: Ingrid Michaelson & Sara Bareilles]
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
It's not the way I was born to be
Don't need a crown to make me a queen
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
It's like my mama she told me, "Girl
There's so many ways to be beautiful"

[Bridge: Ingrid Michaelson & Sara Bareilles]
I am beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
It's like my mama she told me
(Beautiful, beautiful)
"There's so many ways to be..."
(Beautiful)
I'll never be Miss America
I'll never be
I'll never be

[Chorus: Ingrid Michaelson & Sara Bareilles]
I'll never be
Miss America (Miss America)
It's not the way I was born to be
Don't need a crown to make me a queen (Miss America)
I'll never be Miss America (Miss America)
It's like my mama she told me, "Girl
There's so many ways to be beautiful"

[Outro: Ingrid Michaelson & Sara Bareilles]
I am beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
We are beautiful, beautiful
We are beautiful
