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
