There are some things I’d like to ask To this body of mine Do you like the way you look? Or would you rather fix your flaws? No bodies are perfect But it seems that way for some For yours have so many imperfections Or though it might seem so To my body: I don’t like the way your thighs don’t touch I don’t like the way your stomach’s not flat If models aren’t the way you are, Why would boys desire to have you? I wish they could see what’s beneath your looks Because if so they might look twice But no one ever cares enough To see what’s good down deep inside So to my body I ask; will you change for their demands? I think you’re better just being yourself If they can see what’s in your heart That should be enough for anyone, especially you
