Love me for me

Krystalyn Arakaki 1993 (Honolulu)



If I was skinny, I think you'd want me
If I was beautiful, I think you'd want me
If I had straighter teeth, I think you'd want me
If I had nicer skin, I think you'd want me
If I had nicer hair, I think you'd want me
If I was rich, I think you'd want me
If I had my own place, I think you'd want me
If I had a better car, I think you'd want me
If my life was perfect, I think you'd want me
If I wasn't as strong, I think you'd want me
I'm not a barbie doll, I love me for me
I would have loved you for you
Too bad it was too late for you to see
