Maybe she’s not quite
As beautiful as she was once
Maybe she doesn’t turn heads
Like she did before
Maybe some things have changed
And that’s okay
She is a little bit vintage now
A little bit savage
There’s a few scars that won’t go away
Some tell-tale signs of age
And she doesn’t give a Damm
Doesn’t hide in shame
She pulls on cut off shorts
Slides her feet into 3 inch high wedges
Adds bangles to her arms
Walks right out the door
She finally knows who the hell she is
and what the hell she ain’t
She’s not waiting around for anyone else
To say she looks okay
That she’s good enough this way
That’s one thing she’s learned
As she’s come of age
To love the skin she’s in
Give her own self some grace
And if anyone wants to say a good thing
She’ll listen to what they say
But if all they can do is criticize
She’ll just turn the deaf side
Walk right on by
She’s a little bit vintage
and it’s about time
