Everybody keeps telling me those two words.
But it doesn’t help
They just don’t understand


They think it’s a phase
That it won’t last
But the truth is
Time has just already passed


I wish we didn’t have mirrors
What are they for?
Only for the girls that everyone adores


Perfection just like pearls
Are what those girls are


When you look at me
Ugly shell and all
And then my head starts ringing


I’m not perfect
And never will be
But I must be perfect
You’ll see.
