Count the numbers and don't forget to subtract two, because you're wearing 1,2,3,4 layers of clothes. And can you hear me? Repeat after me, "I am pretty, I am free." Don't forget to minus three for every plus because, "You're not good enough", and "they're better". But darling don't forget you must keep track, of the way they spoke to you last night so you can retaliate tomorrow morning. And the last few whimpers that escape when you're screaming in the shower, with the water turning red. You, you did bad again! Don't forget to look up and down, and left and right before you take a bite. Don't you go letting yourself behave like such an animal! Don't you know that this is not your body? Did you forget that we are here to make you happy!

We'll Make You Happy
