When I was born the midwife cried

She couldn't quite believe her eyes, well we

Can't all be Keanu Reeves, or

Beauty Queens, and kids are mean, I tell you

School was hell, I could not wait for the 

Bell to ring and to hit that gate

There's no point in asking why,

U-G-L-Y, I ain't go no alibi


Skin deep, tough

Shit, I just make the best of it I give

No fucks, I don't care that I was

Back of the line when they gave out the looks

But it's hard to take when you comprehend you will

Never be one of the beautiful people

Slam the door in your fucking face, you can

Never be one of the beautiful people


Well I've tried, and I've learned

You just can't polish a turd and I

Know, that I don't belong with the

Beautiful people, beautiful people like

You


So I tried to hide away, I've got

Nice legs, it's a shame about the boat race, a

Face for radio, no Stevie Nicks, I've been

Beaten black and blue with the ugly stick

And I watch, but I don't understand, the

Celebrity shows with the perfectly tanned with their

Perfect teeth and their perfect houses their

Perfect lives with their perfect spouses it's


Skin deep, such a 

Waste, a nice smile doesn't buy you taste and it's

Shallow, there's no meaning in

Selling your pictures to Hello! Magazine but it's

Hard to take when you comprehend you will

Never be one of the beautiful people

Slam the door in your fucking face, you will

Never be one of the beautiful people


Well I've tried, and I've learned

You just can't polish a turd and I

Know, that I don't belong with the

Beautiful people, beautiful people like

You


But I've found my tribe now, I've got my fam and I 

Know who they are, they are fucking amazing, I

Know they accept me the way that I am, they're

Beautiful people in all kinds of ways

But not beautiful people like 

You

But not beautiful people like


You I've tried, but I've learned

You just can't polish a turd and I

Know, but I just don't care I will

Never be one of the, beautiful people
