When Sunny was a child
She was carefree and wild
She hardly had a worry in the world

In her house it was clear
When she looked into the mirror
A proud girl was looking back at her

Her mama said she was precious
Don't you forget it
She knew what her Mama said was true

When Sunny was a child
She was carefree and wild
She didn't worry the way some people do

It was only later on
Like a low rolling fog
Anxieties started creeping in

She didn't tell nobody else
But when looking at herself
She was uncomfortable in her own skin

Her mama said she was precious
Don't you dare forget it
She wanted to believe it was true

But all she's ever seen on a television screen
Are beauty queens, make her feel
Not good enough not good enough

Chorus:
Sometimes your eyes
They tell you lies
Sometimes you see more with them closed
Than when they're open wide
Close your eyes
And open your heart

Well the music was pumpin
And everybody’s jumpin
As the party started getting off the ground

Sunny was dancing
With Wendy and Frances
Moving and grooving to the sound

And then in walks Earl
All alone in the world
Looking for a girl he could ask out

Sizing up the place
Searching for a pretty face
Checking everybody up and down

He’s not interested in Sunny
She’s intelligent and funny
But some belly fat is showing through her clothes

He’s written off Wendy
She seems real friendly
But she’s got a pretty prominent nose

And he likes the way she dances
But he doesn't flirt with Frances
She’s got a little acne on her face

And all he's ever seen
On a television screen
Are beauty queens and no one else is
Good enough not good enough

Chorus

He’s almost out the door
When upon the dance floor
Sprang a vision that took his breath away

He stared in her direction
Her flawless complexion
A goddess, a dreamgirl, a babe

He said your eyes are like diamonds
Your hair is like a river
Your body is so slender and sublime

Of all the women in the room
I have eyes only for you
You and me could have a good time

And the music is pumpin
And everybody jumpin
And after an uncomfortable delay

She got all up in his face
Put him in his place
Here’s what his dreamgirl had to say

Double Chorus
