A little girl trying to see what her parents want.
I look in the mirror and try to see,
Exactly who they expect me to be.
A perfect girl with good grades?
A girl THEY want, not what God made?
Looking hard and trying to see,
Exactly who they expect me to be.
A girl who is quiet and does everything right?
To be that girl for me is a fight.
Looking in the mirror trying to see,
Exactly who they expect me to be.
I can't be perfect or get good grades,
With no encourgement from THEM,
There is no way.
I look in the mirror and I try to see,
Exactly who they expect me to be.
