Got a little wrinkle
Got a little sag
Under the eye
Got a little meat around the middle
Got a few years on me
But do I get by
So they're slitting my eyes
And they're cutting my jaw
And they're breaking my nose
And they're fixing my flaws
And they're twisting the skin
'Til I'm tight and I'm young
They'll pull the lines
My face goes numb
I wake up better than before
I leave improved when I walk out the door
I let the nice men put me down
I thank the doctors, tip Felicia, and go walking into town
So I'm strutting my stuff
And I'm shaking my ass
And I'm shining so bright
Like a painted glass
And the people all stare
Can't believe their eyes
That an angel would walk
Among their kind
My mother asks me to stop
She doesn't recognise the cream from the crop
She thinks I've turned into a jerk
She doesn't get it so I said it
She could use a little work
(Sometimes I surprise myself
Catch my face in a window
On camera, at the whole foods
In the bathroom, with the lights off, in a swimsuit
I look away every time
It doesn't phase me, I'm not worried, I'm just shy
But I couldn't tell you who I see
This person, this person
But I know it isn't me)
Tell me sweetie, sweetie, sweetie, you're the purest thing
Beauty's fleeting, is it cheating if I try to cling
I'm competing with the feeling I'm irrelevant
All the neighbours are polite but I'm the elephant
Tell me honey, honey, honey, do I look the part?
You reject it, I correct it
'Til we find the heart
Pretty, pretty by committee
I would calculate
Nearly perfect and it's worth it
I'm a solid eight
So go get it
Fuck what they say
Go get it
