One of the best-selling debut albums of all time, Jewel's "Pieces of You" has sold over 12 million copies in the U.S., making it her most successful album to date.

A lyric example: "She's an ugly girl, she doesn't pose a threat / "She's an ugly girl, does that make you feel safe? / Ugly girl, ugly girl, do you hate her /
