What A Way To Wanna Be - Lyrics by Shania Twain


Lyrics
I don't wanna wear that
\r
It only makes me look fat
\r
Time to tone my thighs-- gotta lose another size, yeah!
\r
What a way to wanna be
\r

\r
Exfoliate--look great!
\r
Feel guilty 'bout what you ate
\r
You're buyin' all the books--
\r
to learn the latest looks, yeah
\r
What a way to wanna be
\r

\r
We like to buy, we like to spend,
\r
to keep up with the latest trend
\r
But we don't get no satisfaction
\r
living like a slave to fashion
\r
No more thinking for yourself,
\r
just get it off a shelf
\r

\r
[Chorus:]
\r
Oh--oh, why be perfect--no--oh,
\r
it's not worth it
\r
Don't be so obsessed--c'mon give it a rest
\r
This is not some contest--just do your best
\r
'Cause no--oh body's perfect!
\r
What a way to wanna be
\r

\r
Moisturize, exercise, erase the
\r
rings around your eyes
\r
Cover what you can,
\r
get a Coppertone tan, yeah
\r
What a way to wanna be!
\r

\r
Stabilize the mood you're in--
\r
you're back on diet food again
\r
Bigger is the best, but only
\r
in the chest, yeah!
\r
What a way to wanna be
\r

\r
We like to buy, we like to spend,
\r
to keep up with the latest trend
\r
But we don't get no satisfaction
\r
living like a slave to fashion
\r
No more thinking for yourself,
\r
just get it off a shelf
\r

\r
[Repeat Chorus]
\r

\r
It's so very--unnecessary
\r
Yeah, how insane--to be so vain
\r
It's so synthetic--I just don't get it
\r
I don't get it, baby, yeah, yeah
\r

\r
Don't be so obsessed--c'mon give it a rest
\r
This is not some contest--just do your best
\r
'Cause no--oh body's perfect!
\r

\r
(Ooooohhhhhh)
\r

\r
Oh, no--oh body's perfect
\r
No--oh, it's not worth it
\r
Don't be so obsessed
\r
(No--oh body's perfect)
\r
This is not some contest
\r
(No--oh body's perfect)
\r
Perfect! What a way to wanna be
\r
\r
