Talia Mayden - All the Skinny Girls Lyrics

I think that I was 5
When I noticed that my thighs
Squeezed against the hem of my hand-me-downs

I must've been 13
When the mother of the mean girl
Whispered I should dress more my age

And I can't remember a time
Before this body of mine

All the skinny girls vs. me vs. the world
I know you can't help you're pretty with your sweatshirt on

But all the skinny girls with their space between their thighs
And they're swapping clothes at night as they get ready for the bars

And I could die,
It's all the skinny girls and I

I remember 16
Skipping lunch on amphetamines
60 milligrams for free from the family psych

A headache every night,
And boys blowing up my line
I learned around around that time that beauty is pain

And I stood in the mirror and wished
That next I could shrink all my ribs

All the skinny girls vs. me vs. the world
I know you can't help you're pretty with your sweatshirt on

But all the skinny girls with their space between their thighs
And they're swapping clothes at night as they get ready for the bars

And I could die,
It's all the skinny girls and I

Now that I'm 25,
I look back with kinder eyes
I didn't know what I had when I had it

Probably at 43,
I'll look back at current me
And not believe the insecurity I was still holding

The longer I spend in this world
I see no ones a skinny girl, not even the skinny girls

And we sing:

All the skinny girls vs. me vs. the world
I know you can't help you're pretty with your sweatshirt on

But all the skinny girls with their space between their thighs
And they're swapping clothes at night as they get ready for the bars

And I could die,
It's all the skinny girls and I
