My Cutie
Little girl with wet eyes this morning
But it's not the rain, it's her little friends
Who tell her she's fat, she's ugly, she's worthless
Seeing her cry might make them feel good
She fills pages with black
She writes poems
She talks about travels
To forget the problems
Her heart ages
But she's just a child
You will take off
One day, obviously
You'll see my cutie, my cutie
Happiness is a gift you find when you forget yourself, oh
You'll see my cutie, my cutie
Soon you'll laugh so loud that the earth will envy
Go without fear and smile
Oh my cutie, oh my cutie
Go without fear and smile
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) oh my cutie, oh my cutie
Little girl is afraid to go back to class
She wants to be invisible, blend in with the crowd
For her, there's no love, only judges with backpacks
Waiting for her in the yard, what is she guilty of?
She takes her guitar
To escape a little
Makes up stories
Of wonderful princes
Draws mirages
With her child eyes
You will take off
And death takes its time, oh
You'll see my cutie, my cutie
Happiness is a gift you find when you forget yourself, oh
You'll see my cutie, my cutie
Soon you'll laugh so loud that the earth will envy
Go without fear and smile
Oh my cutie, oh my cutie
Go without fear and smile
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) oh my cutie, oh my cutie
Little girl is talented
She writes poems
At night in her notebook
She tells herself
You'll see my cutie, my cutie
Happiness is a treasure you find when you forget yourself
You'll see my cutie, my cutie
Happiness is a gift you find when you forget yourself, oh
You'll see my cutie, my cutie
Soon you'll laugh so loud that the earth will envy
Go without fear and smile
Oh my cutie, oh my cutie
Oh-oh, go without fear and smile
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) oh my cutie, oh my cutie
Oh, oh my cutie
