Don't eat so much
You're not really hungry, just thirsty
Thirsty for attention
Thirsty for knowledge
Thirsty for affection
For acknowledgement of my good
But no
Little girl bad
You're not doing your best, try harder
Try to be prettier
Try to be quieter
Try to be perfect
Because if it's not perfect it's wrong
And
Little girl bad
But little girl tries
And little girl fails
And little girl just wants to be loved
And little girl bad
Grows up to be
Insecure and willing to do anything for acceptance
Anything for joy
Anything for approval
Anything for love
A shadow of her vibrant former self
And little girl bad
Crawls through this mess
And little girl bad
Grows up more
And little girl bad
becomes
a bad bitch
who doesn't need your approval
to love herself.
