I don't want to be the perfect daughter
and get the perfect grades
so what if i dont go to harvard
or even get straight A's
i can be whatever i wanna be
i dont need you to plan my life
let me just be me
itll all turn out alright
sorry im not the hottest girl
what more can you ask from me
i try so hard to fit in in your world
i cant be those gals on tv
i want to be the one you love
but not if it means thats not me
i want to be good enough
why is that so damn hard to see
dont hold me up to your standards
my own are hard to meet
all i ask is for some understanding
as i try to be the best i can be
i want to be sombody, and someday i will
theres so much i have yet to learn
and so much more time to kill
but im going to do it on MY terms
