Lyrics
The Perfect Girl
Kelley Dolan, copyright 2003, ASCAP
(Intro)
Don?t you wanna be
Don?t you wanna be
Don?t you wanna be
Beautiful like me
(Verse 1)
Just your proto-typal dream
With plasti-sheen thighs
The perfect blonde coif
to blow you off, and big blue eyes
A Malibu tan, driving my Malibu van
(Refrain)
Life?s a blur, a happy whirl
When you?re the perfect girl
(Verse 2)
Peel your skin back
And pull it up, so pretty
Bleach your teeth
Botox your cheeks
that?s the key
If you wanna be, like me
(Refrain)
Life?s a blur, a happy whirl
When you?re the perfect girl
(Bridge)
Do you have the nerve
to be seen
Do you have the verve
it takes to be a queen
(Verse 3)
Your mother says
There?s nothing wrong with you
And that?s true
There?s nothing that can?t be fixed
With a few tucks and nips
And some dexatrim
Be yourself, everybody?s beautiful
In their way, but my way
You?ll get a fatter payday
(Refrain)
Life?s a blur, a happy whirl
When you?re the perfect girl
