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


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)

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

Make each other complete

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

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
