[Verse 1]

I let my fingers pinch my skin

I'm so hungry I can't sleep

But I know if I eat

Then I'll be in the bathroom on my knees

I hate the way my face is square

I hate my arms inside these sleeves

For this hourglass we all desire

I wear three corsets underneath


[Pre-Chorus]

XL T-shirts, baggy jeans, so I don't have to stress about it

Marijuana every day, so I cannot obsess about it

How can I expect you to romance me, touch my body, baby?

I don't even want to take it off for you, so turn the lights off


[Chorus]

And I don't really like my body

But knowing it's my only body

I should probably call somebody

I should really show you how I'm feeling inside

Matter fact, I'm glad you callеd me

I've been hiding, I been high

And I've been sleeping hungry


[Verse 2]

I hug my knees, I squeezе my waist

There's so much that I want to change

Yes, lately I've been thinking

'Bout the ways to rearrange my face

I wanna cut pieces off

Looking in the mirror

Want to take a pair of scissors, sadly, dear

I wanna cut pieces off


[Pre-Chorus]

Lately, I've been so depressed about it

No one sees what I can see, and I'm so fucking scared about it

How can I expect you to romance me, touch my body, baby?

I don't want to take it off for you until you turn the lights off


[Chorus]

And I don't really like my body

But knowing it's my only body

I should probably call somebody

I should really show you how I'm feeling inside

Matter fact, I'm glad you called me

I've been hiding, I been high

And I've been sleeping hungry


[Outro]

I think when I grow older, I'm going to get a nosejob

I have a bump in my nose and it's ugly

When I grow up, I want to be skinny, but with an hourglass figure

I hope I'll be pretty when I grow up, or I think I'll be sad
