(Chorus)
I once met this girl
She's as pretty as can be
I told her she was beautiful
But she didn't believe me
Frustration consumed me
How could she not see?
Despite the perfection I perceived
She sees inadequacy

(Verse 1)
See, society has taught her
To hate the skin she's in
To compare herself to billboards
To starve until she's thin
But even if she made it
Ignored her hunger pain
Would she finally feel at peace
Or would her sorrow remain?
Rejection, like an infection
Breeding victims of disaffection
So, pardon my interjection
But we must go a new direction
This isn't natural selection
Rather a warped projection
Women don't need your objection
They deserve uninfluenced introspection
(Chorus)
I once met this girl
She's as pretty as can be
I told her she was beautiful
But she didn't believe me
Frustration consumed me
How could she not see?
Despite the perfection I perceived
She sees inadequacy

(Verse 2)
Shallow words from shallow guys
Cause pretty girls with tainted eyes
Forced to believe their twisted lies
In every mirror, inside she dies
She cannot feel the love I send
Despite my honest heart's intent
I drown her in these compliments
Yet somehow she still circumvents
Forget the American dream
It will destroy your self-esteem
Happy lives need no extreme
Beauty isn't what they deem
You are perfect to the seam
Don't deny you love ice cream
If you're proud, let me hear you scream
As we burn their magazines
(Chorus)
I once met this girl
She's as pretty as can be
I told her she was beautiful
But she didn't believe me
Frustration consumed me
How could she not see?
Despite the perfection I perceived
She sees inadequacy

(Verse 3)
All that truly matters
Are those who truly care
The opinions of the masses
Is neither relevant nor fair
So believe what I say
And find happiness once more
You're beautiful, you're perfect
Of that, you can be sure

(Chorus)
I once met this girl
She's as pretty as could be
I told her she was beautiful
But she didn't believe me
Frustration consumed me
How could she not see
Despite the perfection I perceived
She sees inadequacy
(Verse 3)
What she doesn't realize
A point she surely missed
If you're a truly kind person
Ugliness does not exist
You could throw away your make-up
This you should not doubt
If you are beautiful within
You are beautiful without
