I once met this girl
She's pretty as could be
I told her she was beautiful
But she didn't believe me
Frustration consumed me
How could she not see
Despite the perfection I perceive
She sees inadequacy
See society has taught her
To hate her the skin she's in
To compare herself to billboards
To starve util she's thin
But even if she made it
Ignored her hunger pain
Would she finally feel at peace
Or would her sorrow remain
Rejection like an infection
Breeding victims of disaffection
So pardon my interjection
But we must go a new direction
This isn't natural selection
Rather a warped projection
Women don't need your objection
They deserve uninfluenced introspection
I once met this girl
She's as pretty as could be
I told her she was beautiful
But she didn't believe me
Frustration consumed me
How could she not see
Despite the perfection I perceive
She sees inadequacy
Shallow words from shallow guys
Curse pretty girls with tainted eyes
Forced to believe their twisted lies
In every mirror inside she dies
She cannot feel the love I've sent
Despite my honest heart's intent
I drown her in these compliments
Yet somehow she still circumvents
Forget the American dream
It will destroy your self-esteem
Happy lives need no extreme
Beauty isn't what they deem
You are perfect to the seam
Don't deny you love ice cream
If your proud lets hear your scream
As we burn their magazines
I once met this girl
She's as pretty as could be
I told her she was beautiful
But she didn't believe me
Frustration consumed me
How could she not see
Despite the perfection I perceive
She sees inadequacy
All that truly matters
Are those who truly care
The opinions of the masses
Neither relevant or fair
So believe what I say
And find happiness once more
You're beautiful, your perfect
Of that you can be sure
I once met this girl
She's pretty as could be
I told her she was beautiful
But she didn't believe me
Frustration consumed me
How could she not see
Despite the perfection I perceive
She sees inadequacy
What she doesn't realize
A point she surely missed
If you're a truly kind person
Ugliness does not exist
You can throw away your makeup
This you should not doubt
If you are beautiful within
You are beautiful without
