     You see the face and hands 
     The dimple on the cheek 
     The shortness of the body 
     The person that is meek 

     But I am here to tell you 
     There’s a person that’s inside 
     A person that is different 
     One you can confide 

     Inside’s an endless wonder 
     This person who was strange 
     Inside’s a new beginning 
     This person who can change 

     What’s inside is a person 
     So very just and kind 
     Ignore the wagging tongue 
     This one is more refined 

     What’s inside is an angel 
     So sweet and caring too 
     Her voice so melodic 
     Her eyes an endless blue 

     Outside is the person 
     That you’ve always known 
     But the person that’s inside 
     A different person can be shown 

     Ignore that outside body 
     For what’s inside is more 
     That’s the real person there 
     The one you’ve been looking for 

     This person isn’t bragging 
     Or annoying, not at all 
     She isn’t very tiny 
     But then, she’s hardly tall 

     What’s inside is something different 
     Something to change your views 
     And then, once you see her 
     She’s no more a simple "you" 

     What’s inside has been hidden 
     For you must be the one 
     To open up her heart 
     To unmask the shining sun 

     She’s skillfully just hidden 
     Far beneath the skin 
     And you’ll have to do more than talking 
     To see the girl free from sin 

     But until you truly know her 
     You won’t see that one inside 
     She’ll manage to avoid you 
     No matter how hard you’ve tried 

     Until then she’s no one special 
     Annoying, yes, and true 
     But be careful what you say 
     Or you’ll never see the other
