I don't wanna be barbie and ken
today I will be your guide, let you know how to master the art at perfection
i will teach you how to be perfect at makeup
i will teach you how to have the perfect body
wear the perfect clothes
you'll fit right on in, so don't worry
but what if i don't wanna perfect?
what if i don't wanna fit in?
what if i just wanna be me?
that's right, you heard me,
i do not wanna fit in
i wanna be me
i do not want to wear those tight little dresses
nether be perfect at makeup
have name brand clothes, it may be nice
but i would rather be poor than be a barbie wannabe
it may be you, but not me
if that would be me, i would just be sad
franky, i am tired
i am tired of trying to be someone who i am not just to fit in,
tired of needing to please someone when i stop talking to them i feel stupid
tired of needing to be that girl nect door with the perfect grades who is nice to everyone
'cause if that was me, that girl next door, i would be just like every other wanting to fit in
which i don't wanna be that way
and be honest, do you?
but that is how this world is nowadays,
in order to fit into a place you have to be what they want you to be
which now it's needing to have a perfect body, name brand things, bringing down other people
but that is not me, and that should not have to be you either
we should be a place without needing to be rich in order to get into places
bring down others just in order to get along with those people you would call friends
and if you had to that, they aren't truly your friends
you should not have to be a barbie or ken just to fit in
'cause i am me,
i'm that person who stays up late at night reading or listing to music
i prefer to stay over at my friends instead of going to a party
i prefer ordering take out with my family and watching a movie, instead of going to a bar
maybe every once that would be okay
but on a daily basis, no
you are perfect the way you are
now it may be a clique thing to say, but it is true
you're loved wether you think it or not, you are
you are beautiful
