my roots are showing

Singer:crystal shawanda

sometimes my nails match my lips

and my jeans hug my hips

but i don't feel like doing all that right now

he's on his way over

and my hair's in a ponytail holder

and my true colors are coming out

he better love me when my roots are showing

or i'll pack up my boots and be going bye-bye-bye-bye-bye

if it's me that he's impressed with

anything i might be dressed in

ought to be just fine

if he's the one for me i'll know it

he better love me when my roots are showing

if overalls turn him off

if he don't like the way i talk

well

that's alright with me

i am a product of

my momma

daddy

and the place i love

what he gets is what he sees
