All About You
by: BratzYou've got style looking so sharp
Rocking hot smile you're gonna go far
Believe in yourself
You don't need to be who you're not
All that you need is all that you've got
Just believe in yourself
You should know what you are
Money can't buy
'Cause you should know
It's all about you
It's not about the money you make
It's not about the little mistakes
It's not about the people you know
You'll be fine on your own
It's not about the clothes that you wear
It's not about the car, I swear
It's the little things you say and you do
It's all about you, it's all about you
Have fun in all that you do
Listen to your heart, it's always so true
We believe in you
You can't stop, reach for the stars
Time will tell, tell people who you are
We believe in you
You should know what you are
Money can't buy
You should know
It's all about you
It's not about the money you make
It's not about the little mistakes
It's not about the people you know
You'll be fine on your own
It's not about the clothes that you wear
It's not about the car, I swear
It's the little things you say and you do
It's all about you, it's all about you
If things are spinning around
We'll pick you up when you're down
You don't have to worry my friend
You should know it's all about you
It's not about the people you know
It's not about the seats at the show
It's not about the places you go
It's not about the money you make
It's not about the little mistakes
It's not about the people you know
You'll be fine on your own
It's not about the clothes that you wear
It's not about the car, I swear
It's the little things you say and you do
It's all about you
It's not about the money you make
It's not about the little mistakes
It's not about the people you know
You'll be fine on your own
It's not about the clothes that you wear
It's not about the car, I swear
It's the little things you say and you do
It's all about you
It's not about the money you make
It's not about the little mistakes
It's not about the people you know
You'll be fine on your own
It's not about the clothes that you wear
It's not about the car, I swear
It's the little things you say and you do
