I look into the mirror
And what's staring back at me
Are all the imperfections
That a girl could ever be
Though I starve myself till morning
And work myself till night
But none of it's enough
'Cause my shape is still not right
So I tug on my big sweater
To cover up some skin
But once I take it off
I see my blubbery limbs
And the people start to shout,
"Hey piggy! Want some food?"
But when I turn around
I'm the only one in the room
So I cover both my ears,
But the shouting doesn't stop
So I brave it till the morning
Till the moon has slowly dropped
