Don't feel like putting make-up on my cheeks Do what I wanna Love every single part of my body Top to the bottom I'm not a supermodel from a magazine I'm okay with not being perfect 'Cause that's perfect to me 'Cause that's perfect to me 'Cause that's perfect to me No matter where I go, everybody stares at me Not into fancy clothes, I'm rockin' baggy jeans Gettin' too close for comfort But comfort is what I need So I eat my body weight in chocolate and ice cream, ha Maybe I bite my nails and don't think before I speak Don't fit in any crowd, don't ever get much sleep I wish my legs were bigger, bigger than New York city And I'll love who I want to love, 'cause this love is gender free Don't feel like putting make-up on my cheeks Do what I wanna Love every single part of my body Top to the bottom I'm not a supermodel from a magazine I'm okay with not being perfect 'Cause that's perfect to me (La, la, la la, la, la, la la, la, la, la la) 'Cause that's perfect to me (La, la, la la, la, la, la la, la, la, la la) 'Cause that's perfect to me Sometimes I wake up late and don't even brush my teeth Just wanna stuff my face with leftover mac and cheese You know I get depressed Are you impressed with my honesty? But I'll wear what I wanna wear 'Cause I'm cool with what's underneath, mmm I wanna kiss someone that I'll never see again I wanna go somewhere and go there with all my friends I wanna take my family to go and see Eminem 'Cause my sister's been in love with him Since like we were ten Don't feel like putting make-up on my cheeks Do what I wanna Love every single part of my body Top to the bottom I'm not a supermodel from a magazine I'm okay with not being perfect 'Cause that's perfect to me (La, la, la la, la, la, la la, la, la, la la) 'Cause that's perfect to me (La, la, la la, la, la, la la, la, la, la la) 'Cause that's perfect to me If you don't wanna wear make-up, don't wear make-up If you don't wanna break-up, then kiss and make up Remember if you wanna you can go home You can say that enough is enough, ah Alright, this is your time Time for your life to be yours 'Cause that's perfect to me 'Cause that's perfect to me 'Cause that's perfect to me Don't feel like putting make-up on my cheeks Do what I wanna Love every single part of my body Top to the bottom I'm not a supermodel from a magazine I'm okay with not being perfect
