She wakes up with a frown
Burdened by this world that's cutting her down
All she wants to feel is proud
But expectations keep
Her from getting out
Of this prison that she's made
Thinks she has got to make
Herself perfect
If she could see what I see
I know she'd be free
And she'd feel worth it
But he won't do nothing but shout
And curse at her and keep
Pushing her around
She's scared one day he will walk out
And tries to change herself
To keep him around
But she'll never please
A man who doesn't see
That she's perfect
If she could see what I see
I know she'd be free
And she'd feel worth it
No matter what I say she thinks
This is what she deserves
It's how it's supposed to be
I hope one day she'll finally see
It's possible she don't have to
Cry herself to sleep
In this prison that she's made
Thinks she has got to make
Herself perfect
If she could see what I see
I know she'd be free
And she'd feel worth it
