Some sugar, a little spice

 

Hey, a thigh gap would be nice

 

Thinner arms, a flat stomach

 

A smaller chest size, if you've got it

 

Tanner skin with less sun damage

 

Prettier eyes, if you could manage

 

Erase that double chin, don't you know that fat's a sin?

 

Remove the freckles from my face

 

And could I get a smaller waist?

Ten pounds of makeup, now you're through

 

The title of "pretty", we've sold to you
