So you think you got it all worked out, 
You got your hot pants on, 
You got your arse right out 
You, think that you weren't something special, 
Me and my drag dress we won't do at all, 
I spent so long trying to fit the prototype 
Kept just sticking in years 
And I never got it right oh 

What's the use? 
What's the point? 
You got the wrong girl!

So you do what, 
You're doing there, 
'Cause ill be flying higher, 
Waste your own time, 
I don't care 

Anything you can do 
I can do better! 

All you girls you 
Look up if if you can handle when I'm still here 
Well 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
But baby that's ok 
All you girls when 
You look into the mirror tell me how do you appear 
Well 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
But that's ok. 

So you got your little groups and gangs 
You got your VIP 
Your member only, things 
You happy clappers 
And your VC crew 
And if you get in their way 
They got ten on you 

I don't want to be in that game 
Don't want to follow the leader 
No way 

What's the use? 
What's the point? 
You got the wrong girl!

So you do what, 
You're doing there, 
'Cause ill be flying higher, 
Waste your own time, 
I don't care, 

Anything you can do 
I can do better! 

All you girls you 
Look up if if you can handle when I'm still here 
Well 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
But baby that's ok 
All you girls when 
You look into the mirror tell me how do you appear 
Well, 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 

So what we don't look the same 
So what we don't 
So what we don't 
So what I don't play your game 
So what I don't 
So what I don't 
So what if I don't? 

All you girls you 
Look up if if you can handle when I'm still here 
Well 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
But baby that's ok 
All you girls when 
You look into the mirror tell me how do you appear 
Well, 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 

All you girls you 
Look up if if you can handle when I'm still here 
Well 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
But baby that's ok 
All you girls when 
You look into the mirror tell me how do you appear 
Well, 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
Your superficial I'm a misfit 
But that's ok

Amy Studt

Amy Jane Studt (born 22 March 1986) is an English singer, songwriter and musician. Growing up in a musical family she recorded her first demo by age 14, which eventually got her signed to Polydor. Studt released her first single "Just a Little Girl" in July 2002, to international success. It was followed almost a year later by "Misfit", which came to be her highest charting single. The same month her debut album False Smiles appeared. Late 2003 and early 2004 two more singles were released, "Under the Thumb" and "All I Wanna Do" respectively, but only to diminishing sales. That caused Polydor to drop Studt in February 2004. more »
