Big nose
Big lips
That's all that everybody can see .
Big nose
Crooked teeth
That's all it'll ever be .
Big nose
Bushy eyebrows
I'm just so in doubt .
Big nose
Wide forehead
That's all the mirror points out .
Pretty hair
Down to earth personality
Don't nobody wanna agree .
Sweet smile
Coco Brown eyes
Why can't they let me be me ?
Golden Carmel skin
Long legs
I just wanna be free .
But big nose & big lips
Is all they will ever see .
