Barbie Doll (Never Been A)

I inherited daddy's nose and mama's bad skin

I've never had a tan and I burn in 5 minutes

I've always had curves, never had a small waist

But you know what, that's ok

I may be from California

But I've never had a man named Ken

Never had a beach house in Malibu

Or perfect skin

I may dye my hair blond

But I've never had a rack

All my weight is in the back

I do love fashion

But you won't catch me in a dress

Never had straight hair

Mine's a frizzy mess

No, I've never been a Barbie doll

I confess

Don't have a sister named Skipper

Never driven a corvette

I prefer sneakers to heels

Never had eyelashes like that

Never had a button nose

Or a stripped swimsuit

No, I've never been America's

Stereotype of cute

I may be from California

But I've never had a man named Ken

Never had a beach house in Malibu

Or perfect skin

I may dye my hair blond

But I've never had a rack

All my weight is in the back

I do love fashion

But you won't catch me in a dress

Never had straight hair

Mine's a frizzy mess

No, I've never been a Barbie doll

I confess

Most of us will never be Barbie

And that's ok

Cuz there's only one you

And only one me

I may be from California

But I've never had a man named Ken

Never had a beach house in Malibu

Or perfect skin

I may dye my hair blond

But I've never had a rack

All my weight is in the back

I do love fashion

But you won't catch me in a dress

Never had straight hair

Mine's a frizzy mess

No, I've never been a Barbie doll

I confess
