My Shower Song by Melodie Yvonne
Sometimes when I shower I think I’ve got the power
To sing the notes as loud as one can sing them
But somehow even solo I get shy when I miss one note
And I look around to make sure no one hears it
Yeah I know a few can feel me when I let you see the real me
‘Cause integrity begins when no one’s lookin
But don’t you be scared to fuck up ‘cause ain’t no one here is perfect
All that matters is you’re lovin’ what you’re doin’
So make sure to stay on mission never take more than you’re givin’
And if there’s somethin’ that don’t feel right you best mind it
Always dance when no one’s watchin’, give a smile ‘cause it don’t cost ya
And remember life’s mistakes aren’t what define it
