I was sitting in bed, I was maybe thirteen When my life was turned around She was tall, she was thin, she was out of this world And she didn't make a sound.
I put the magazine down and I started to frown As I sat on my bed alone I'm not pretty or perfect, not tall and not thin And my clothes aren't nice as those. But someday I suppose
The next morning at school I tried hard to forget The girl in the magazine. But all I could see was the barbie doll crowd And the way they looked down on me
I ran through the doors as I fought back the tears. Today I would make a change. Got some lipstick and hairspray and painted my face And threw myself away. I threw myself away
I started to think about what others thought of me Compared myself to the girl in the magazine Then on tuesday the next week I didn't eat Soon I forgot who I used to be.
Another year later I looked in the mirror and saw what I'd become Like the magazine girl I was pretty and thin but inside it felt so wrong
My makeup was thick and my body was thin To the world a perfect 10 But nobody knew me and nobody cared In my circle of plastic friends.
I started to think about what others thought of me (who am I now?) Compared myself to the girl in the magazine (what have I done?) Then on tuesday the next week I didn't eat (I've lost who I am) Soon I forgot who I used to be. (and who I used to be)
This story is sad. This story is true. It happens every day. When girls try to be like the girls that they see and they throw themselves away. They throw themselves away.
So don't try to be like the girl in the magazine. (who am I now?) let yourself shine be the one that you're made to be (what have I done?) Dare to be different stand up so the world can see (I've lost who I am) More than a page in a Magazine (and who I used to be)Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
