The way they flashed their smiles,
the confidence they beamed,
the pretty powdered faces and the lies.
Yes, the ugly girl was jealous.

The way they fell in love at the drop of a hat,

the way they curled their hair,
the ugly things they could say and still seem so perfect.
Yes, the ugly girl was envious.

The ugly girl wished she was more like the other girls.
The way they didn't see psychiatrists,

the way they were "normal"
Yes, the ugly girl was green and melting.
