All Dolled Up |
First, we’ll pluck a little here |
Then, we’ll tuck a little there |
Then, we’ll cut a little loose and apply a little mousse |
To what seems to be your hair |
Then, we’ll do a little tweeze |
Then, we’ll do a little more |
Then, we’ll wax, and then, we’ll bleach |
'Til you’re smoother than a peach |
Or at least a little smoother than you were before |
To me, you look okay |
But if you truly want me to |
We’ll sculpt and mold |
And change and fix you anyway |
Hey (Hey), we’re getting all dolled up |
Going with the flow, looking so appealing |
Hey (Hey), 'cause when you’re all dolled up |
No one has to know just how flawed you’re feeling |
Hey, if you can hide what’s shining through |
You’ll see a whole new you |
So we’ll try a little mask |
It’ll open up your pores |
Then we’ll rub some lotion in |
Then we’ll soften up your skin |
So it doesn’t look like yours |
Then we’ll moisten up your lips (Yeah, yeah) |
Buff your toenails to a T (Yeah, yeah) |
And we’ll powder up your nose |
Or in your case, I suppose |
We’ll just put a little powder where your nose should be |
Hey (Hey), we’re getting all dolled up |
Blend in with the crowd like we know we’ve got to |
Hey (Hey), 'cause when you’re all dolled up |
That’s when you’re allowed to pretend you’re not you |
Hey, once you conceal what’s real and true |
You’ll see a whole new you |
Everyone, choose your weapons! |
Step one, find the trendiest of outfits |
Step two, pick the one that just about fits |
Step three, this is absolutely key |
Choose it not for you, but for who you wanna be |
And then, once you know which look you’re into |
Say when, and I guess we can begin to squeeze |
And stretch and stuff until we nail the whole display |
Hey (Hey), we’re getting all dolled up |
Feeling fresh and free, looking oh, so juice |
Hey (Hey), 'cause when you’re all dolled up |
People only see what you want them to see |
Hey, once who you are is hidden from view |
You’ll be a whole new you |
You’ll be a whole new you |
You’ll be a whole new you |
Yeah, we’re getting all dolled up |
Gosh, though how I wish that I didn’t need to |
Sure, look at me, all dolled up |
Stuck playing a part someone else agreed to |
Ooh, if I could choose who I could be |
I’d choose a whole new me |
I’d choose a whole new me |
I’d choose a whole new me |
