Pretty girls have no need to cry.

A dab of mascara, a touch of blush
foundation and lipstick are a must
hair done up in the latest style
in public she's never without a smile
curves are out and bones are in
tighten that tummy, suck it in
eat all the food she wants today
cause two fingers can send it back down the drain
seduce the boys with her eyes
pretend to believe all their lies
what he wants she gives to him
this is all the price of fitting in
Girls look at her in jealousy
But she wonders "why they'd want to be me?"
In her mirror stripped to her bra
pinch the skin and find the flaws
there's not an aunce of fat to find
but I wish I was thinner is still on her mind
In the bathroom, on the floor
she tries to lose a little more
she wipes her mouth and cries so soft
the tears wash all her makeup off
with her mask gone she can see
the person who she used to be
once a girl with all cares gone
now one barely holding on
she shakes her head, snaps back to earth
and remembers what all her work was for
she wipes the tears from her eyes
because pretty girls have no need to cry.
