Your Own Kind Of Girl
Chocolate - you've got chocolate on your mouth Oh you long to be like the other girls But your'e not gonna be like another girl "Some other girl" You've been reading magazines again Comparing your sweet body To the bodies of nature's longest ones Smoothed out with airbrush guns You've been wondering when the answer is gonna come It's not gonna come Till you realise You are fine You're more than enough The real world needs real girls to love themselves enough I went on my first diet when I was eight years old 10, 11, 12, through to 21 When I came undone and I thought: "Somebody tell me that I'm more than this?" So I understand the thoughts get out of hand I still know all the shame of falling for that same old shit Time time again That there's some "Simple Answer!" to the complex life "It's only $29.99" SongtexteSo there "They" sit high in their towers Writing lists about what women need With no regard, no understanding No real care about the pain they breed (oh) My hope for you, my darling girl Be brave and build a dream in your own size 'cause otherwise You're buying crap that you don't need To feed a world that will not feed you It will not feed you, my love Chocolate - you've got chocolate on your mouth Oh you long to be like the other girls But you weren't born to be "Some other girl" You're gonna be your own kind of girl Aus Songtexte Mania
