skinny

I wanna be S-K-I-N-N-Y
S-K-I-N-N-Y, oh yeah

Say that I'm doin' it for myself
"Doin' it for my health," it's a lie
Sometimes I try on the jeans
I wore when I was 16 and I cry

Oh, it's a shame I'm to blame
And I hate that I'm not a size
Oh, I complain 'bout the way I was made
And I don't know why

I wanna be S-K-I-N-N-Y, mm
S-K-I-N-N-Y, why?

Strawberry shortcake, my twentieth birthday
I'm staring at my waist, I'm taping up my legs
I've never been thinner, I've never been sicker
I wanna feel better, I wanna be thicker

I don't wanna be S-K-I-N-N-Y (why?) Why? (Why?)
S-K-I-N-N-Y (why? Mm)

Why do I wanna be you, and you wanna be me?
Why are we so obsessed with being skinny?
