lyrics

Oh I, I don’t want everything.
Just what every little girl wants:
a bunch of pretty things.
And I, I want them bad.
The media’s worked on me
and it’s really pretty sad.

I might as well confess it:
I wanna wear those pretty dresses.
Does that make me bad and shallow?
‘Cause I really don’t know how else to
make everybody love me.
I just wanna feel like I’m worthy.
Roll out the red carpet for me,
make me feel like I am pretty.

And I, I know it’s wrong.
To judge me on appearance.
To see if I belong.
And the years, I’ve spent in line…
to get into the special places
that I wish were mine.

I might as well confess it:
I wanna wear those pretty dresses.
Does that make me bad and shallow?
‘Cause I really don’t know how else to
make everybody love me.
I just wanna feel like I’m worthy.
Roll out the red carpet for me,
make me feel like I am pretty.
I wanna feel pretty, a little less shitty.

Oh, but maybe, just maybe,
it doesn’t have to be that way.
Maybe, just maybe,
I can put these superficial thoughts away.
Oh, who am I kidding?

I might as well confess it:
I wanna wear those pretty dresses.
Does that make me bad and shallow?
‘Cause I really don’t know how else to
make everybody love me.
I just wanna feel like I’m worthy.
Roll out the red carpet for me,
make me feel like I am pretty.
I wanna feel pretty, a little less shitty.
Make me over and over and oh
I wanna feel pretty, a little less shitty.
