Beautiful
Christina Aguilera · 2002
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- So don't you bring me down today
- To all your friends you're delirious
- So consumed in all your doom
- Trying hard to fill the emptiness
Echo the hook
- No matter what we do
- (No matter what we do)
- No matter what we say
- (No matter what we say)
