There are people who try to control the lives of others and sometimes they can strip a "giving" person of their identity, self-esteem, confidence and hope. But they cannot take away what's in their heart, for underneath the surface of those who fall victim to "takers" is a basically beautiful person.

Basically Beautiful (2004)
written by James Buckley

Many years ago when you were weak you met someone like you
And you thought you could begin a brand new day
But it turned into a routine life much different from the start
The truth inside just wasn't meant to be this way ... to be this way

Well you made the choice to be someone, to thine own self be true
It wasn't easy changing life to be right
Now that you're on your way to living with a passion of your own
Ya know it's easy now that your eyes can see the light ... see the light

Oh Oh Oh Oh.....I won't tell you the kind of clothes you should wear
Oh Oh Oh Oh.....I won't tell you about the walk that you do
Oh Oh Oh Oh.....I won't tell you the words that you should say
Oh Oh Oh Oh.....But I will tell you, you're basically beautiful

And you know quite well that you've been under the spell of someone else
Who didn't really care about you anyway
And you thought you were in a safe place where no harm could ever come
But a giving heart can be a fool sometimes ..... oh sometimes

Oh Oh Oh Oh.....I won't tell you the kind of clothes you should wear
Oh Oh Oh Oh.....I won't tell you about the walk that you do
Oh Oh Oh Oh.....I won't tell you the words that you should say
Oh Oh Oh Oh.....But I will tell you, you're basically beautiful

And I'm not gonna try and make you live like someone else
Cause it's not right to try and take another's soul away
And I'll just give you all of the love that you deserve
cause you're basically beautiful and that's alright with me
Ohhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhh, Basically Beautiful!
