  • I wish I was that girl from the Gucci store
    She never wore any makeup and she owns couture
    I got pimples where my beauty marks should be
    I got dry skin on my elbows and knees
    I never liked her, wanted to be like her
    Hate how you look at her, 'cause you never saw me
    Like I was an art piece, like I was an ordinary girl

    I wish I was special
    I gave all my special
    Away to a loser
    Now I'm just a loser
    I used to be special
    But you made me hate me
    Regret that I changed me
    I hate that you made
    Just like you
    Just like you

    I wanted to be thick, now I wanna be thin
    Heard Pilates is in, bash your windows out
    You gon' hear my mouth, you could kick me out
    You say I'm too wild, you gon' hate me now
    Boy, you got me fucked up, now I'm gettin' fucked up
    Thinkin' 'bout us fuckin', why you'd have to fuck her?
    I don't wanna see you, why'd you have to treat me
    Like I was an ordinary girl?

    I wish I was special
    I gave all my special
    Away to a loser
    Now I'm just a loser
    I used to be special
    But you made me hate me
    Regret that I changed me
    I hate that you made me just like you
    Just like you
