    THE quintessential EX-JW ANTHEM. (Well, actually my sister gave it to me.) It's a song by Samantha Mumba.

    To hear / download it, go to here .

    Here are the words:

    I don't need you to tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful.

    I don't need you to give me your strength to make me feel I'm strong.

    I've got all of the strength that I need here inside my own two hands.

    All that I want is your love and respect for who I am.

    What I really need

    comes from deep inside of me.

    Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful (No!).

    Don't need you to make me strong cause I'm strong all on my own

    Doesn't come from outside,

    this beauty I know.

    It comes from inside my soul.

    Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty.

    I don't need you to

    believe in me to make me know I'm worth believing in.

    I don't need you to

    lift me up high to know I can stand tall

    I can stand tall.

    I can stand my own ground. I can stand proud upon my own two feet.

    Don't have to be a part of somebody else to be complete.

    What I really need

    comes from deep inside of me.

    Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful.

    No-o-o!

    Don't need you to make me strong cause I'm strong all on my own.

    Doesn't come from outside,

    this beauty I know.

    It comes from

    inside my soul.

    Don't need to come to you for

    confirmation.

    Because I've finally come to

    this REVELATION!

    What I really need (What I really need)

    gonna find inside of me (find inside of me)

    Not in somebody else

    Respect!

    ... comes when you respect yourself.

    Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful

    (NO! NO! NO!).

    Don't need you to make me strong cause I'm strong all on my own.

    My own!

    Doesn't come from outside.

    This beauty I know.

    It comes from inside my soul.

    Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty to make me feel beautiful (NO! NO! NO!)

    Don't need you to lift me up I can stand up on my own. (My own!)

    Doesn't come from outside.

    This beauty I know.

    It comes from inside my soul.

    Don't need you to tell me I'm pretty to know I'm beautiful.

    Nice song. She kinda reminds me of Tracy Chapman, style more then voice.

    Try this stickster visulation if you have Real one player. It's pretty kewl the way the stick figures dance to the song.
