Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

[in the background]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Yeah
[softly]
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Try so hard to say goodbye

Who cares if you look hideous? It's time to look up on life, you aren't going to be more beautiful if you sulk about it. I know at this point when society seems to edge towards an era of vanity, we all tend to doll up in someway. But at the end of the day, it's your soul that counts, not that perfect skin or flawless smile.

God doesn't care about the way you put your hair, or the shirt you wear. He made you to look the way you are, he carefully arranged your face to be what it is like. No matter if your good-looking or not, those are only expectations men set for themselves. I know to alot of people, life is about looking good, about being self-concious of your physical appearance, yes that is right, but how far is far?

God loves you no matter how you look, no matter how tacky you dress. We are all fair in His eyes, he won't mind all those scars, the baggy eyes. Don't spend too much time on that mirror, it's useless anyway.. when the heaven opens you'll never be able to find your reflection anymore. So drop that make-up, that hair wax, those bright orange ankle socks and think about.

If a girl with a broken smile talked about daisies the brightest yellow, the stars the palest white, the meadows the most vivid green... and another gorgeous babe who only cared about money, world damnation. Who would you choose?

We let ourselves get blinded by the most humanly of choices, that we forget about what really matters; the inside, the source of our character, and our real personality.

Maroon 5 revives your senses with this song, 'She Will Be Loved'. It talks about this girl who isn't as beautiful as the others, but her character reveals the most gorgeous thing there is; love.

The song writes about a guy's faith towards someone who isn't as pretty as the rest, but at the end of the day, it's her that makes him contended with life. That immense urge of making her loved, and loving her traits with her flaws. She might think she's not good enough for the guy, and run away from him, but he doesn't care.. because he knows, no matter what, he'll always love her.

Are you going to give up someone because he or she isn't as attractive as you?

Let's turn the picture around, even if you were the most handsome guy on earth, would you want someone to love you just because you're good looking? Love is such a vague thing, but it's one definite object - something to pull open the covers and see the inside. The ones that keep their faith are the ones that can see through the most human of thoughts; beauty. When time ages, you'll no longer be that picture-perfect model, that photogenic teen. Your youth shall fade away, but your spirit won't; it would hold there till the day you meet Him.

What you are now you might not be in a decade, trust me. God wouldn't care about your dreams, your manicured nails, your yellowing teeth, but only what you have to offer him within you. Look at people like God does; unveil the surface and see what's more important; the human soul.
