  • OK, well, get ready, this song is called "Here",

  • and it's about a party that I hated.

  • Here we go. (Laughter)

  • (Guitar)

  • ♫ I'm sorry if I seem uninterested

  • oh I'm not listening, oh I'm indifferent.

  • Truly I ain't got no business here.

  • But since my friends are here,

  • I just came to kick it.

  • But really I would rather be at home all by myself

  • not in this room with people

  • who don't even care about my well-being.

  • I don't dance, so don't ask,

  • I don't need a boyfriend.

  • So you can, go back, please enjoy your party,

  • I'll be here --

  • somewhere in the corner under clouds of marijuana

  • with this boy who's hollering, and I can hardly hear

  • over this music I don't listen to

  • and I don't want to get with you.

  • So tell my friends that I'll be over here.

  • Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here

  • Oh oh oh I asked myself: "What am I doing here?"

  • Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here

  • and I can't wait until we can break up out --

  • Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this,

  • an antisocial pessimist,

  • but usually I don't mess with this

  • and I know that you mean

  • only the best, and your intentions aren't to bother me,

  • but honestly I'd rather be

  • somewhere with my people, we can kick it and just listen

  • to some music with a message, like we usually do

  • and we'll discuss our big dreams,

  • how we plan, to take over the planet.

  • So pardon my manners,

  • I hope you'll understand that I'll be here.

  • Not there in the kitchen

  • with the girl who's always gossiping about her friends.

  • Oh tell them I'll be here,

  • right next to the boy who's throwing up

  • because he can't take what's in his cup, no more.

  • Oh God, why am I here?

  • Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here

  • oh oh oh I asked myself:

  • "What am I doing here?"

  • Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here

  • and I can't wait until we can break up out the --

  • Hours later congregating next to the refrigerator.

  • Some girl's talking about a hater, she ain't got none.

  • How did it ever come to this?

  • I should've never come to this.

  • So holla at me, I'll be in the car when you're done.

  • I'm stand-offish, don't want what you're offering,

  • and I'm done talking,

  • awfully sad it had to be that way.

  • So tell my people when they're ready

  • that I'm ready, and I'm standing by the TV with my beanie low.

  • Yo, I'll be over here,

  • Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here

  • Oh oh oh I asked myself:

  • "What am I doing here?"

  • Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here

  • and I can't wait until we can break up out of here.

  • If you're ready, then I'm ready, yeah yeah.

  • If you're ready, then I'm ready, yeah yeah.

  • If you're ready, then I'm ready, yeah yeah. ♫

  • (Cheers)

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you.

  • (Applause)

  • This next song is called: "Scars till you're beautiful."

  • (Guitar)

  • She just wants to be --

  • beautiful, she goes unnoticed,

  • she knows no limits.

  • She craves attention.

  • She praises an image.

  • She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor.

  • Oh, she don't see --

  • the light that's shining

  • deep within the eyes, can't find it.

  • Maybe we have made her blind

  • so she tries to cover up her pain,

  • and cuddle woes away.

  • Because cover girls don't cry

  • after their face is made.

  • But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark.

  • You should know you're beautiful

  • just the way you are,

  • and you don't have to change a thing

  • the world could change its heart.

  • No scars till you're beautiful,

  • we're stars and we're beautiful.

  • Oh oh oh oh

  • Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh

  • And you don't have to change a thing

  • the world could change its heart.

  • No scars till you're beautiful,

  • we're stars and we're beautiful.

  • She has dreams to be --

  • an envy, so she's --

  • starving, you know, cover girls eat nothing.

  • She says:

  • "Beauty is pain, and there's beauty in everything.

  • What's a little bit of hunger?

  • I could go a little while longer."

  • She fades away.

  • She don't see her perfect,

  • she don't understand she's worth it,

  • or that beauty goes deep within the surface.

  • Oh oh oh oh

  • So to all the girls that's hurting

  • let me be your mirror,

  • help you see a little bit clearer,

  • the light that shine's within.

  • There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark.

  • You should know you're beautiful

  • just the way you are

  • and you don't have to change a thing

  • the world could change its heart.

  • No scars till you're beautiful,

  • we're stars and we're beautiful. ♫

  • Repeat after me

  • No better you than the you that you are.

  • No better life than the life we're living. ♫

  • There you go.

  • No better time for your shine, you're a star.

  • Oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're beautiful.

  • There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark.

  • You should know you're beautiful

  • just the way you are,

  • and you don't have to change a thing

  • the world could change its heart.

  • No scars till you're beautiful,

  • we're stars and we're beautiful.

  • Oh oh oh,

  • oh oh oh oh.

  • Oh oh oh oh oh oh.

  • And you don't have to change a thing

  • the world could change its heart.

  • No scars to you're beautiful,

  • we're stars and we're beautiful. ♫

  • (Cheers)

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you so much.

  • Thank you guys.

  • Oh, thank you, thank you.

  • Wow, awesome. Thank you.

  • (Applause)
