Lyrics
I think, when I grow older, I'm going to get a nose job
I have a bump in my nose, and it's ugly
When I grow up, I want to be skinny, but with an hourglass figure
I hope I'll be pretty when I grow up, or I think I'll be sad
Or I think I'll be sad
I let my fingers pinch my skin
(I'm so hungry, I can't sleep)
But I know if I eat, then I'll be in the bathroom (on my knees)
I hate the way my face is square
I (hate my arms inside these sleeves)
For this hourglass we all desire
I wear three corsets underneath
XL T-shirts, baggy jeans, so I don't have to (stress about it)
Marijuana every day, so I cannot (obsess about it)
How can I expect you to (romance me, touch my body, baby?)
Said I don't even want to take it off for you, until you turn the lights off
(I don't really like my body)
But knowing it's my (only body)
I should probably call somebody
I should really show you how I'm feeling inside
Matter fact, I'm glad you called me
I been hiding, I been high and I been sleeping hungry
I hug my knees, I squeeze my waist
(There's so much that I want to change)
Yes, lately I've been thinking 'bout the ways to rearrange my face
I wanna cut pieces off
Looking in the mirror
Want to take a pair of scissors, sadly, dear
I wanna cut pieces off
Lately, I've been so depressed about it
No one sees what I can see, and I'm so fucking scared (scared about it)
How can I expect you to romance me, touch my body, baby?
I don't want to take it off for you until you turn the lights off
(And I don't really like my body)
But knowing it's my (only body)
I should probably call (somebody)
I should really show you how I'm feeling inside
Matter fact, I'm glad you called me
I been hiding, I been high and I been sleeping hungry, yeah
Hmm, hmm
Matter fact, I'm glad you called me
I been oh, do-doot-doot, oh
I don't really like my body
But knowing it's my only body
I should probably call somebody
Or take my clothes off at the Royal Albert Hall
And show my body
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na, yeah
Thank you
