Lyrics
I wouldn't wanna be anybody else, hey You made me insecure Told me I wasn't good enough But who are you to judge? When you're a diamond in the rough I'm sure you got some things You'd like to change about yourself But when it comes to me I wouldn't want to be anybody else Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na I'm no beauty queen I'm just beautiful me Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na You've got every right To a beautiful life Come on Who says, who says you're not perfect? Who says you're not worth it? Who says you're the only one that's hurting? Trust me, that's the price of beauty Who says you're not pretty? Who says you're not beautiful? Who says? It's such a funny thing How nothing's funny when it's you You tell 'em what you mean But they keep whiting out the truth It's like a work of art That never gets to see the light Keep you beneath the stars Won't let you touch the sky Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na I'm no beauty queen I'm just beautiful me Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, na You've got every right To a beautiful life Come on Who says, who says you're not perfect? Who says you're not worth it? Who says you're the only one that's hurting? Trust me, that's the price of beauty Who says you're not pretty? Who says you're not beautiful? Who says? Who says you're not star potential? Who says you're not presidential? Who says you can't be in movies? Listen to me, listen to me Who says you don't pass the test? Who says you can't be the best? Who said, who said? Won't you tell me who said that? Yeah, who said? Who says, who says you're not perfect? Who says you're not worth it? (Yeah) Who says you're the only one that's hurtin' (Yeah, yeah) Trust me, that's the price of beauty (Oh, hey, yeah) Who says you're not pretty? (Beauty) Who says you're not beautiful? (Who said? I'm just beautiful me) Who says? Who says you're not perfect? Who says you're not worth it? Who says you're the only one that's hurting? Trust me, that's the price of beauty Who says you're not pretty? (Who says you're not beautiful?) Who says you're not beautiful? Who says? Songwriters: Emanuel Kiriakou, Priscilla Hamilton.

About "Who Says Lyrics - Selena Gomez & The Scene" by Selena Gomez
"Who Says" is a self-worth anthem, a crowded genre, and it distinguishes itself by picking a specific opponent rather than a vague one. The song is addressed to a critic — someone who has told the narrator she is not beautiful, not good enough, not worth much — and the entire lyric is a rebuttal delivered to that person's face.
The title question is the engine. It is asked repeatedly and never really answered, because the point is that the authority behind the insult does not exist. Somebody said it; nobody qualified did. Framing self-esteem as a challenge to a source rather than a feeling to be summoned is what makes the song usable — it gives a listener something to do with the criticism rather than just something to feel about it.
The bridge is the most interesting section, because it concedes ground. The narrator admits she has flaws and is not perfect, then argues that this is not the same as being worthless. That distinction is the whole argument of the song, and it is the reason the track has stayed in circulation with younger listeners long after the album that carried it.
Released in 2011 at the height of Gomez's Disney-era visibility, it reads now as an early, careful public statement from someone who was being appraised constantly, and who has spoken since about the cost of that.
