Underneath lyrics
by Timbaland
[Verse 1]
You know that East Coast girls always say what we mean
And shy Southern boys often don't say a thing
But opposites attract and you were drawn to me
And something 'bout you sparked my curiosity
They say that good guys usually don't come in first
Good girls fall for bad guys but with us it's reverse
Not your average love song between you and me
The way the story unfolds defies gravity
[Chorus]
Don't have to put on my makeup
I can leave out my contacts
Don't have to dress up for you
To think I'm beautiful
If I have a moody day
I don't have to act like I'm okay
I'm overdramatic
And you know how to handle it
Act natural, be emotional
Show my insecurities
And I love the way you love me
For who I am underneath
(Who I am underneath)
[Verse 2]
They say guys keep conversation short and sweet
And girls can talk for hours till they put you to sleep
But you're the one who checks up on me throughout the day
You stay on the phone even if there's nothing to say
Most guys that I know like to go out at night
But you leave that to me cause you're not that type
And we don't need to do anything special to be happy
We got what we need to make each other complete
[Chorus]
Don't have to put on my makeup
I can leave out my contacts
Don't have to dress up for you
To think I'm beautiful
If I have a moody day
I don't have to act like I'm okay
I'm overdramatic
And you know how to handle it
Act natural, be emotional
Show my insecurities
And I love the way you love me
For who I am underneath
(Who I am underneath)
Layer by layer you unravel me
Sometimes I am rough around the edges
But you handle me gently
And layer by layer I uncover you
And discover a side of you
That I never knew underneath
[Chorus]
Don't have to put on my makeup
I can leave out my contacts
Don't have to dress up for you
To think I'm beautiful
If I have a moody day
I don't have to act like I'm okay
I'm overdramatic
And you know how to handle it
Act natural, be emotional
Show my insecurities
And I love the way you love me
For who I am underneath
(Who I am underneath)
Who I am underneath
I love you for loving me
For who I am underneath
