We like your face 
We like your style 
Everything about you seems so worthwhile 
We like your hair 
We like your nose 
Everybody gonna get one of those 
The bullets for the magazine 
Paparazzi shooting like soldiers in their teens 
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom 

To look like you
To look like you

I'm gonna burn my skin 
I'm gonna cut my hair 
I'm gonna grab a bit of me and stick it over there 
I'm gonna take my meal of two white pills 
'Cause I'm gonna look like you, yes I will 
Gonna sell right out to the great white dream 
'Cause I too want to be a beauty queen 
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom 

'Cause I'd do anything in this world to look like you 
To look like you 
I'd do anything in this world to look like you 
To look like you, oh 
To look like you
To look like you ohhh 
To look like you 
To look like you

I'm gonna buy that mud and apply that paint 
Yes I put it on so thick I wonder why I ain't 
I'm gonna buy everything that you do sell 
Your clothes, your lips, your rocks, your smells
The bullets for the magazines 
'Cause I want everybody to see me 
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom 

'Cause I'd do anything in this world to look like you 
To look like you 
I'd do anything in this world to look like you 
To look like you, oh 

We like your face, we like your style 
And everything about you seems so worthwhile
We like your shoes, we like your clothes 
Now we want a taste of candy going up your nose 
The bullets for the magazine 
'Cause I do want to be a beauty queen 
I'm just a teenage sitting in my room with the bullet for a mirror looking for a broom 

'Cause I'd do anything in this world to look like you 
To look like you 
I'd do anything in this world to look like you 
To look like you, oh
