I learned from the fashion press
Rules of how to impress
Cause if beauty's not arresting
No one finds it interesting
It's so tiring and uninspiring
But I know
How to change from head to toe
Cream and powder, foundation
For the basic transformation
Then it's time to take it up a notch
Shadows, blush and glossy lipstick
That should work and do a nice trick
I'll become a swan queen, just you watch
I tried hard, but all in vain
Caused myself a lot of pain
If the truth is oh so ugly
Then I'd rather be a duckling
I have to break up with pretty makeup
I admit it that I went over the limit
When I glance into the mirror
Facts become a little clearer
I look really scary in this stuff
In the eye of the beholder
Is the truth that's so much bolder:
Skin deep beauty's never good enough
