Supposedly this song is about the girl's crappy boyfriend, but when I first heard this, all I heard was an awesome anthem of Jesus' love and the way he sees us. I can't help but think about those girls out there that are in this situation, who have a boyfriend (or anyone, really) who think they are worthless, good-for-nothing, wastes of time. I want girls all over to hear this song and know that Jesus absolutely adores them, short attention spans and all :)
I'm stupid
I'm useless
I can't do anything right
According to you
I'm difficult
Hard to please
Forever changing my mind
I'm a mess in a dress
Can't show up on time
Even if it would save my life
According to you
According to you
But according to him
I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him
I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite
I don't feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you
According to you
I'm boring
I'm moody
You can't take me any place
According to you
I suck at telling jokes cause I always give it away
I'm the girl with the worst attention span
You're the boy who puts up with it
According to you
According to you
But according to him
I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him
I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Everything is opposite
I don't feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you
I need to feel appreciated
like I'm not hated
Oh, no
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad you're making me decide
I love love love this song! I've never heard of it before, but i totally get the Jesus thing... and it's so true. Girls whoa re in relationships just to be in a relationship and feel unwanted should really think about this - they need to hear who Jesus says they are, who they REALLY are, and not all of the ways they "fall short" of a guy's expectations. I know that i've been there. Thanks for sharing Court :)
ReplyDeleteI agree Courtney2.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to like this song, but it always bothered Courtney1 so it just got stuck in my head that it was a stupid song. Now tho.. it really could be related to Jesus. I like that point and now I will listen to it when she's on the radio.
'According to Him, I'm beautiful and incredible.'
I like that and I agree that Jesus would think that.
