"Funny Face" Bop by Frankie Mellor



Featuring lyrics by Ronald Mael

she sees pictures of pretty girls
the barbie doll perfection
bodies she’s never seen
but still wants because they’re on TV 

Perfect and smooth, they all called me a dream
Flawless and loveless, no intimacy
I only live to be seen

She sucks in her tummy 
and puts chemicals on her skin
trying to burn away the cellulite 
longing for womanhood to begin

Perfect and smooth, they all called me a dream
Flawless and loveless, no intimacy
I only live to be seen

“At least you’re something to look at”
perhaps they simply didn’t care to know
this Barbie doll has hopes and desires
she’s just trying to be beautiful too 

Perfect and smooth, they all called me a dream
Flawless and loveless, no intimacy
I only live to be seen
