Tell me what you don't like about yourself Uh, I need liposuction, under my chin and everywhere I hate the bump on my nose I hate my breasts and my stomach has stretch marks They make me sick, I'd like those to go away Been saving up my money for this What if she tried to get her face erased like it was commonplace? Maybe just crazy because the doctor said she could With new hips and tits, maybe fuller lips All it take a day and some pay, for the tuck and nip Call the Hoover remover, by the time they was through-ah Her whole body would look the way she thought it should They shake a splatter of fat and move from this to that Like Frankenstein but blind because it's in her mind Don't know what she felt, or why she hated herself Maybe dolls and shows, or maybe videos Now it's plain to see, the girl loves TV Because she's chasin' a dream we know can never be Was all part of the plan to keep her lookin' right Thinkin' she could be Janet, if she took the knife It's not a sin to be thin, she tryin' hard to fit in Knowin' soon she'll be a citizen, of the Plastic Nation Tell me what you don't like about yourself I wanna change my face, and I wanna change my body (I wanna change my body) Tell me what you don't like about yourself I wanna change my face (it would be so great) Tell me what you don't like about yourself I wanna change my face, and I wanna change my body (I wanna change my body) Tell me what you don't like about yourself I wanna change my face (it would be so great) Now she was more crazy than lazy 'til she had a baby Tryin to move and improve upon on what God gave her Just like the swan she thought she had it goin' on But never once thought it was wrong or that it wouldn't save her Went to the clinic, was in there for over half a day As they sliced and diced and put the parts in place Her body's bruised, abused, 'cause her mind's confused Bent on livin a lie but never satisfied And you know it ain't right, that's somebody's daughter Now her face is so tight that you can bounce a quarter And the feeling ain't back, they said it'll never be back She's a creature with features, broken out of order That's why we try to find a way to get inside And make you love your life and never need the knife It's not a sin to be thin, don't need to bleed to fit in Now she's another citizen of the Plastic Nation Tell me what you don't like about yourself I wanna change my face, and I wanna change my body (I wanna change my body) Tell me what you don't like about yourself I wanna change my face (it would be so great) Tell me what you don't like about yourself I wanna change my face, and I wanna change my body (I wanna change my body) Tell me what you don't like about yourself I wanna change my face (it would be so great) I need liposuction I'd like bigger calves I need liposuction And, I'd also like to go up to a C cup Tell me what you don't like about yourself Maybe I could have her ears Maybe I could have her ears, and I like her nose Tell me what you don't like about yourself Because they don't stick out like ours do, see?
