I know what you tell yourself, you tell yourself.
Look in the mirror, look in the mirror what does it show?
I hear you counting
I know youre adding. adding up the score.
I know, oh yes I know what you tell yourself,
Tell yourself.
Ever since Eden were built for pleasing everyone knows
And ever since Adam cracked his ribs and let us go
I know, oh yes I know what you tell yourself
Tell yourself
Who taught you how to lie so well
And to believe in each and every word you say?
Who told you that nothing about you is alright
Its just no use, its just no good youll never be O.K.?
Well I know, I know that wrongs been done to you
"Its such a tough world," thats what you say
Well I know, I know its easier said than done
But thats enough girl, give it away,
Give it, give it all away
Tell yourself that youre not pretty
Look at you, youre beautiful.
Tell yourself that no one sees
Plain Jane invisible me, just tell yourself
Tell yourself youll never be
Like the anorexic beauties in the magazines
Just a bargain basement Barbie Doll
No belle du jour, no femme fatale
Just tell yourself
Tell yourself theres nothing worse
Than the pain inside and the way it hurts
But tell yourself its nothing new
Cause everybody feels it too
They feel it too
And theres just no getting round
The fact that youre thirteen right now
