Wake up at eight
It's not too late
Which dress fits best today?
Not much time to breathe
I still overachieve
At anything thrown my way
Like one more night
Without a bite
But the compliments roll in
So I'll go a little longer
Prove I'm a little stronger
It's one game I can win
Blame it on the magazines
The movie screens
Size 0 on the dress
Blame it on not being cool
The boys at school
I'm trying to impress
Don't blame it on crying on the bathroom floor
For all the reasons you ignore
It's not superficial
But you don't see at all
So blame it on the Barbie doll
Can't count on you
To help me through
But I can count calories
And I'm not whole
Can't find control
To get through days like these
There's so much you don't see
Don't you call it vanity
Blame it on the magazines
The movie screens
Size 0 on the dress
Blame it on not being cool
The boys at school
I'm trying to impress
Don't blame it on crying on the bathroom floor
For all the reasons you ignore
It's not superficial
But you don't see at all
So blame it on the Barbie doll
They say I've got low self-esteem
Got no idea what they mean
Blame it on the magazines
The movie screens
Size 0 on the dress
Blame it on not being cool
The boys at school
I'm trying to impress
Don't blame it on crying on the bathroom floor
For all the reasons you ignore
It's not superficial
But you don't see at all
So blame it on the Barbie doll
Just blame it on the Barbie doll
Don't blame it on crying on the bathroom floor
For all the reasons you ignore
It's not superficial
But you don't see at all
Blame it on the Barbie doll
I'll convince myself that I'm OK
They'll hear
What they want me to say
