Oh little girl so far from home You think that you're no good Because you don't weigh seven stone Though others say you should Your mothers never satisfied She makes you feel unsure You watch the way she weighs her food So this must be the cure Your father drowns his weight in drink For reasons so unclear And hear the way his body aches And vomits up his fear Oh little girl so scared and brave So confused in your skin You are just too young to crave The emptiness within Oh little girl please hear me now Your father loves you so He's got a funny way of showing it But someday you will know Just how your mother cries for you And for your frozen face Please promise me you'll fight for all Your beauty and your grace
