Watch me shrink
No don’t blink
Or I’ll fade away
One sweet day
I’ll no longer be
Will you miss me?
“Sticks and stones may break my bones
but names will make me starve myself to death”
Fat slag, whore, teacher’s pet
To name but a few
You haven’t a clue
Ugly, pig, fatso
Leave me alone
I’m trying to deal with this
On my own
Cos no one cares
About the way they stare
And laugh at me
Would you agree?
If you knew what they’d said
Are you glad I’m now dead
No don’t blink
Or I’ll fade away
One sweet day
I’ll no longer be
Will you miss me?
“Sticks and stones may break my bones
but names will make me starve myself to death”
Fat slag, whore, teacher’s pet
To name but a few
You haven’t a clue
Ugly, pig, fatso
Leave me alone
I’m trying to deal with this
On my own
Cos no one cares
About the way they stare
And laugh at me
Would you agree?
If you knew what they’d said
Are you glad I’m now dead
