[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]
I don't really like my body
But knowing it's my only body
I should prolly 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
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna cut pieces off
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 knowin' 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
