No Doubt - Beauty Contest lyrics

from the "Simple Kind of Life" single Damsel in distress is quite submissive Look how somber my vanity is A feminine human creature Superficial, seducing detour I'm going to the mall for the cookie cutter The ugly duckling will always suffer Contaminated standards, I try to fight it I better get back on my diet Obsessed with the beauty contest Beauty contest How'd my vanity get such a mess? Beauty contest I'm obsessed Reduce myself, I got the strict restrictions Not s**y enough without the regulations A melting point countdown the fading features Born to blossom and bloom to perish Obsessed with the beauty contest Beauty contest Oh, I've got to get out of this mess Beauty contest I'm obsessed And I've fallen, I can't help myself I'm feeling envious of all the rest You're bringing out the lemming in me A victim of the cattle call disease Not easy to be me I feel so lame Obsessed with the beauty contest Beauty contest How'd my vanity get such a mess? Obsessed with the beauty contest Obsessed with the beauty contest Beauty contest I've got to get out of this mess Obsessed with the beauty contest Obsessed with the beauty contest Beauty contest How'd my vanity get such a mess? Caught up in the beauty contest Caught up in the beauty contest Caught up in the beauty contest Caught up in the beauty contest Caught up in the beauty contest And I feel so lame How'd my vanity get such a mess? (child) My vanity's a mess
