(The scene cuts to the studio stage)

(MerseyGirls start to dance)

She just wants to be beautiful She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits She craves attention, she praises an image She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor Oh, she don't see the light that's shining Deeper than the eyes can find it Maybe we have made her blind So she tries to cover up her pain and cut her woes away 'Cause cover girls don't cry after their face is made

But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark You should know you're beautiful just the way you are And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful Oh-oh, oh-oh And you don't have to change a thing, yhe world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

She has dreams to be an envy, so she's starving You know, covergirls eat nothing She says beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything What's a little bit of hunger? I could go a little while longer, she fades away She don't see her perfect, she don't understand she's worth it Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface Oh, oh So to all the girls that's hurting Let me be your mirror, help you see a little bit clearer The light that shines within

(The scene cuts to Dec dancing)

There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark

(The scene cuts to Ant dancing)

You should know you're beautiful just the way you are

(The scene cuts to the studio stage where the girls are still dancing)

And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

Oh-oh, oh-oh And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

No better you than the you that you are (no better you than the you that you are) No better life than the life we're living (no better life than the life we're living) No better time for your shine, you're a star (no better time for your shine, you're a star) Oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're beautiful

And there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark You should know you're beautiful just the way you are And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

(The scene cuts to Dec and Ant dancing down the stairs)

Oh-oh, oh-oh

(The scene cuts to the studio stage where the girls are still dancig)

And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

(Audience cheers and applauses)
