stretch marks n all

i was walking home from his place one night
and i was treading carefully
and it wasn't just cause i was stoned or cause of the roadworks
i was having a revelation

i'm not going to push my breasts up
why fuck with gravity
i'm not going to pretend that i'm some hairless creature
and i'm not sorry, this is me

as i walk through the city streets by day
i'm struck by all those starved looking women on billboards
and all those teenage girls around me who look scarily the same
tell me, if that's what i'm supposed to look like, what's supposed to happen to my appetite?

well it's good to have good lovers and great to have good friends
but you've got to know to love yourself and just be
and if you can make yourself happy that's a pretty good place to start
and if you want to know the truth, i often have the best sex when it's just me

so take off your make-up and take off your clothes
and take a look at yourself, please do
cause chances are
you're beautiful
just because you're you
