Mavis Staples

I Like The Things About Me

I looked in the mirror

What did i see a brand new image

Of the same old me ohhhh

But now i wonder why should i be surprised

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me that i once despised

There was a time

When i wished my hair was fine

And i can remember when

I wished my lips were thin

Oh but now i wonder why should i be surprised

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me that i once despised

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me that i once despised

Makes no difference now y’all

How you may feel

I’ve done reached the point

Where i wanna be real

I’m tired of living living in disguise

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me that i once despised

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me that i once despised

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me

I like the things about me that i once despised
