I don't wanna wear that
It only makes me look fat
Time to tone my thighs
Gotta lose another size, yeah
What a way to wanna be

Exfoliate, look great
Feel guilty 'bout what you ate
You're buying all the books 
To learn the latest looks, yeah
What a way to wanna be

We like to buy, we like to spend
To keep up with the latest trend
But we don't get no satisfaction
Living like a slave to fashion
No more thinking for yourself
Just get it off a shelf

Oh, oh, why be perfect? 
No, no, it's not worth it
Don't be so obsessed, come on, give it a rest
This is not some contest, just do your best
'Cause nobody's perfect
What a way to wanna be

Moisturize, exercise
Erase the rings around your eyes
Cover what you can, yeah
Coppertone tan, yeah
What a way to wanna be

Stabilize the mood you're in
You're back on diet food again
Bigger is the best
But only in the chest, yeah
What a way to wanna be

We like to buy, we like to spend
To keep up with the latest trend
But we don't get no satisfaction
Living like a slave to fashion
No more thinking for yourself
Just get it off a shelf

Oh, oh, why be perfect? 
No, no, it's not worth it
Don't be so obsessed, come on, give it a rest
This is not some contest, just do your best
'Cause nobody's perfect
What a way to wanna be

It's so very unnecessary
And how insane to be so vain
It's so synthetic, I just don't get it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't get it, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't be so obsessed, come on, give it a rest
This is not some contest, just do your best
'Cause nobody's perfect

Oh no, nobody's perfect
No, no, it's not worth it
Don't be so obsessed (nobody's perfect)
This is not some contest (nobody's perfect)
What a way to wanna be
