What defines being beautiful.. a funny twist
Really, who is to say that you are a beauty
What makes a human being sexy or pretty
Ugly, facially challenged, how dare you say that
What's your standard of judging, please give me the format

I can relate to you the images that the media shows to me
Although it may require some extensive research in plastic surgery
So if my waist isn't tiny, or my legs aren't long and built
After I indulge in this ice cream, should my bones rattle with guilt

Plus those cookies with sprinkles look endearing to my soul
But if I have one of those, then I may grow a big ugly mole!
Oh no, I cant risk the chance of such horror taking place
Excuse me for one second, while I inject botox into my face

Or should I take a tan because some idiot says I am too light
Or bleach my darkened skin to make it just a little more white
It truly puzzled me, that now you would choose to speak about geico
Silly me, I heard wrong, you meant the money you saved was for lipo

My hair was never long and black and flowing in the wind
So I choose to hire the services of chemicals just to give it a little spin
Now someone call the doctor, or the hotline for hair emergency
For now my precious grains are falling off, with no scant courtesy

I used to believe my arse was too big, but what really confused me
Were the self conscious boppers, stuffing their bras and undy
And then I would slouch my back, because too tall I would feel
Despite the fact that short girls were hovering in 6 inch heels


Beauty pageants were my favorite shows, but one problem I suppose
None of the girls who ever won, had a funny looking nose
So maybe I should starting saving money to straighten this facial sin
Or I can always choose the alternative, clasp it with a clothing pin

So you see my predicament, I just can't decide
What would make me more attractive, so I could finally be a bride
Instead of being a bridesmaid all of the dam time
I'd finally catch him, that future husband of mine

Or maybe I can just say screw it and simply be me
And love this body I possess for eternity
No more trying to live up to standards that others deem to set
It would sure save me alot of money, really, wanna bet?
