There are girl, pretty girls with pretty blond curls.

They poke and prod and snip and stitch, untill someone calles them a b****.

They cry and ruin there war paint because a stupid boy who thinks hes a saint. Says your ugly on a day shes decides to be brave and wear a little less war paint.

You see us girls are all the same we need our makeup, after we wakeup because we need a way to get through the day without trying to hide.
