I don't know who I want to be
I go to Target to pick out new identities
try them on in a humid fitting room
try not to pop the seams before I buy
try to peel them off when they don't fit just right
The ones I fall in love with are always out of stock
Or only available at the high end up the block

I don't know who I want to be
I go to Target to pick out new identities
try them on in a humid fitting room
try not to pop the seams before I buy
try to peel them off when they don't fit just right
The ones I fall in love with are always out of stock
Or only available at the high end up the block
