When I was seven
They said I was strange
I noticed that my eyes and hair weren't the same
I asked my parents if I was OK
They said you're more beautiful
And that's the way they show they wish
They had your smile
So my confidence was up for a while
I got real comfortable with my own style
I knew that they were only jealous 'cause

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
My personality reflects me
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you

There was a time when I felt like I cared
That I was shorter than everyone there
People made me feel like life was unfair
And I did things that made me ashamed
'Cause I didn't know my body would change
I grew taller than them in more ways
But there will always be the one who will say
Something bad to make them feel great

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
My personality reflects name
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
My personality reflects me
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you

Everybody talks bad about somebody
And never realizes how it affects somebody
And you bet it won't be forgotten
Envy is the only thing it could be

'Cause people are all the same
(The same, the same)
And we only get judged by what we do
(What we do, yeah, yeah)
My personality reflects me
And if I'm ugly then
(Yeah, you)
So are you
So are you

People are all the same
(Oh, oh, oh)
And we only get judged by what we do
(What we do, yeah)
My personality reflects me
And if I'm ugly then
(Yeah, so are you)
So are you
So are you

    General Comment:people in this song means every human and they try to say every human is equal... there is no ugly human hahahahaha... but I think this song try to tell us too, to play smart over people who mock us... I wonder and confused, if people mock us and they say "hey you're ugly" and we mock them back by saying "you're ugly too" then what will be in their heads?will they say "you're ugly too"? wooo this will be ugly-ugly never ends hihihihihihihihi

    General Comment:Geeeze, haters, relax. It was a nice, song that meant something other than sex. That had a meaning and can relate to everyone.

    The song is saying that we are all the same.
    We are each Unique just like everyone else.
    and so people shouldn't call another for being 'ugly' or for their skin colour or how they dress.


    The part I don't get about is

    "Personality refelcts name" (the lyrics above are wrong btw, you should change them)

    I don't get the 'name' I think it means like [INSERT NAME HERE] maybe.

    General Comment:ultimately, we are all the same and different at the same.

    that's what i used to think is the most amazing thing about the humankind.

    nowadays, i just hate everyone.

    but i think what "if i'm ugly then so are you" really means is... if someone calls you ugly, it shows that they are ugly inside (if not on the outside as well LOL) themselves.

    it's simple, but most people are. and the target group is the people who listen to the radio that plays this shxt 24/7 - not a completely bad try at opening people's minds.

    if you want more cryptic, try tool.

    General Comment:Ergh, someone keeps playing this song and it's really getting on my nerves.

    "People are all the same
    And we only get judged by what we do"
    You can't say people are all the same, and then say we get judged by what we do; we only do things because of who we are. People are different, and that's why people do different things. If we were all the same, we'd all be clones and there wouldn't be a need for music or any other form of art because we'd all think the same way.

    The other part that annoys me is where they sing:
    "And if I'm ugly then
    So are you"
    They aren't a completely hideous bunch. It's like a rich snob saying to a peasant, "if i'm poor, then so are you". Actually, that's quite offensive. :l

    General Comment:I saw the Sugababes live at Radio 1s Big Weekend. They were actually surpisingly good, and I'm a cynical person.

    Some girls were in tears when they aplyed this. My God.

    But still. I like one line in this song "I asked my parents if I was okay, they said your more beautiful"

    or something.

    that's nice. :)

    General Comment:this is such a stupid song! for god's sakes people aren't all the same! i totally agree with FackingHell. Seriously you guys don't realize what a crap song this is and how much actual good music is out there. like they're saying we only get judged by what we do. what crap! sadly that isn't true! the sugababes are just making everyone believe that life is just suger and daisies when there is actually a real world out there, with tons of different people, with different beliefs and different interests. this song is just a load of CRAP!

    General Comment:This song is so true! There is no ugly...everyone's the same. Since when are we to judge whos ugly and whose not? How would we know? We base people on one image, and if they dont look like that, they're considered ugly. Finally a song that has honesty!

    The writer of the song did an excellent job! Props to him/her! And props to Sugababes for actually singing it! Great song! I love the video clip too ^_^
