Just a little bit stronger, Just a little bit wiser, Just a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there...

Just a little bit pretty, Just a little more aware, Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...

Clearly, clearly I remember, Hiking up my skirt, Asking for your time
Clearly, clearly I remember, Nervous if ever confronted, And questioning myself

Oh perhaps, perhaps if I got better, Perhaps if I challenged myself, Perhaps if I was
Just a little bit stronger, Just a little bit wiser, Just a little less needy
And maybe I'd get there...

Just a little bit pretty, Just a little more aware, Just a little bit thinner
And maybe I'd get there...

Clearly, clearly I remember, pulling up my shirt, Staring blank ahead
Clearly, clearly I remember, Days of useless crying, Almost feeling dead

Oh perhaps, perhaps if I was smaller, Perhaps, I could control myself, Perhaps if I was
Just a little bit stronger, Just a little bit wiser, Just a little less needy, 

And maybe I'd get there...
