Paper Girls
Paper Girls
There are paper girls
Who wear paper crowns
They have perfect paper eyes
And sparkly paper gowns
They date the paper boys
With their paper good looks
But I know anyway
None of them can read a book
Don’t be a paper girl
'Cause they have paper hearts
They paste a paper smile on
Though inside they’re torn apart
Each time someone's prettier
Each time someone's not
They feel bad about themselves
Or brag about what they've got
But these are paper things
