UGLY GIRL

It's too bad I'm an ugly girl today
Its too bad I got all these little scars and all this age
I've been working like a dog
To love myself some way
Yeah, it's too bad I'm an ugly girl today

Magazines say beauty queens don't suffer in their skin
Need not cover up a God damn thing
They say that I could lose an inch or 5 or 6
Child bearing hips just ain't their scene

It's too bad I'm an ugly girl today
It's too bad I got all this gaul
And all this misplaced rage
I've been working like a dog
To love myself some way
Yeah, it's too bad I'm an ugly girl today

Camel filter fire escapes
My mornings spent alone
Hollowed cheekbones haunting all my dreams
Skip a meal or two to look a little more like you
Starve my way to sky high self-esteem

It's too bad I'm an ugly girl today
It's too bad I've got war torn hands
And stories in my face
I've been working like a dog
To love myself some way
It's too bad I'm an ugly girl today

But when I sing
I have no face
I have no bones
No human race
I am just a space where you can rest

I know it sounds a little strange
To wish myself a ghost
But when I sing
I see my beauty most

It's too bad I'm an ugly girl today
It's too bad I don't see myself
The way that I was made
A woman to end all of man
A woman unafraid
It's too bad I'm an ugly girl today
