lyrics
how come i can pick my ears
but not my nose
who made that rule anyway
how come you say that’s
the way it is
that’s just the way it goes
why don’t you decide for yourself
what you can do
and what you can say
how come i can pick my friends
but not my enemies
what is it about me that offends
what is it about me
you know i’m only five foot two
and i’m giggly wiggly
tell me again what did i do
why are you scared of me
i fight with love
and i laugh with rage
you gotta live light enough
to see the humor
and long enough
to see some change
i think shy is boring
i think depressed is too
i think pretty is nice
but i’d rather see something new
all those plastic people
got their plastic surgery
but we got a big big beautiful
we got it for free
who you gonna be
if you can’t be yourself
you can’t get it from t.v.
you can’t force it on
anybody else
you know they come to clear cut
they come to stripe mine
they come for some of my big but my big brain or just a little time
they wanna take me home to dinner
they think i’m a bitch if i don’t go
seems like the people who actually like me don’t allow me to say no your idea of a conversation is the third degree
i don’t really know you and i don’t really wanna talk about me
‘cause i’m not going to pretend that i don’t pick my nose
that’s just the way it is my friends
that’s just the way it goes
this is who i am what i do and what i say
if you like it let it be
if you don’t please do the same
i fight with love i laugh with rage
you gotta live light enough to see the humor and long enough to see some change
but not my nose
who made that rule anyway
how come you say that’s
the way it is
that’s just the way it goes
why don’t you decide for yourself
what you can do
and what you can say
how come i can pick my friends
but not my enemies
what is it about me that offends
what is it about me
you know i’m only five foot two
and i’m giggly wiggly
tell me again what did i do
why are you scared of me
i fight with love
and i laugh with rage
you gotta live light enough
to see the humor
and long enough
to see some change
i think shy is boring
i think depressed is too
i think pretty is nice
but i’d rather see something new
all those plastic people
got their plastic surgery
but we got a big big beautiful
we got it for free
who you gonna be
if you can’t be yourself
you can’t get it from t.v.
you can’t force it on

they come for some of my big but my big brain or just a little time
