"skinny" lyrics

I wanna be s-k-i-n-n-y
S-k-i-n-n-y
Oh yeah

Say that I'm doin' it for myself, doin' it for my health, it's a lie
Sometimes, I try on the jeans, oh-oh, when I was sixteen and I cry

Oh, it's a shame I'm to blame and I hate that I'm not her size
Oh, I complain 'bout the way I was made, and I don't know why

I wanna be s-k-i-n-n-y
Mm, mm, s-k-i-n-n-y
Why?

Strawberry shortcake, my twentieth birthday
I'm starin' at my waist, I'm tapin' up my legs
I've never been thinner, I've never been sicker
I wanna feel better, I wanna be thicker

I don't wanna be s-k-i-n-n-y
Why?
Why?
S-k-i-n-n-y
Mm, mm

Why do I wanna be you and you wanna be me?
Why are we so obsessed with bein' skinny?
