Ugly girl blues
by Stephanie Crosby
Ok I look in the mirror and I see myself.
All I know is I don’t like me.
I mean I’m ugly.
No one wants to be seen with me
Folks act like they’re ashamed of me.
I don’t know what I did though?
I mean nobody has acted like they wanted me around.
So how do you expect me to feel?
Like I enjoy being ugly!
Dating guys who deserve me
Becoming friends with folks who deserve to be near me
Pretty much I don’t know my own self worth
I don’t trust anybody to teach me
Or at least show me how
So I’m ugly because I’ve been told that I was
I don’t fit in “they’re” crowd
For once I wished things were different
For once I want people to remember and wish me a happy birthday
I mean want people to see me and not walk me
I guess they want to see me in pain
See life sucks as a ugly girl
Please take my word for it.
