Oh little girl so far from home
You think that you're no good
Because you don't weigh seven stone

Though others say you should

Your mothers never satisfied
She makes you feel unsure
You watch the way she weighs her food
So this must be the cure

Your father drowns his weight in drink
For reasons so unclear
And hear the way his body aches
And vomits up his fear

Oh little girl so scared and brave
So confused in your skin
You are just too young to crave
The emptiness within
