You could be so pretty if only you lost weight
If only you ate half of what is sitting on your plate
If you made a little effort, the boys would all come to your yard
Do you have to be so stubborn, child? Do you have to make things hard?
What if I'm perfect just the way I am?
I get up every morning and I do the best I can
Is there a memo? Something that I've missed?
A million rules to live by, oh, is there a list?
You could be so pretty if only you weren't you
If only you could fake it like those kids on Insta do
If you had a million people hanging off your every word
People who don't care 'bout you, who don't know when you're hurt
What if you're perfect just the way you are?
You get up every morning and you're doing okay so far
Is there a memo? Something that you missed?
A million rules to live by, oh, is there a list?
You could be so pretty if only you weren't old
If only every shadow, every wrinkle, every fold
Didn't tell a story of who you have become
Every battle, every triumph, all the stupid shit you've done
But what if we're perfect just the way we are?
We get up every morning and we're doing okay so far
If there's a memo, something that we've missed
A million rules to live by, they can fuck their list
