[English]

She is perfect, she does everything right

She doesn’t stray from her line, she’s a perfect ten

They point at her with a finger, and she never asks why

She’s always so beautiful, or that’s how they see her

But she’s having some really shitty days

She gets so anxious she has to go outside

She’s crying, and no one even notices

She’s fed up with feeling like she belongs to everyone

When she’s all hers

She doesn’t want to be the perfect girl

No, no, no

She’s tired of it, and it’s not her fault

If she doesn’t care what they say about her

She doesn’t want to be the perfect girl

No, no, no

Why does she have to put on a brave face

When she’s had a rough week

Why pretend everything’s fine

When it’s not

Why is she obliged to look perfect

Inside, she’s crying and feeling miserable

And everyone tells her how incredible she looks

She no longer changes clothes, she’s gone off the line

She’s lost her elegance, she’s not a role model for girls

♪ LA ELEGANCIA LA HA PERDIDO, NO ES EJEMPLO PARA NIÑAS ♪

But she knows what she wants, and she doesn’t care anymore

She’s changed, she looks strange

What’s happened? She’s had a little too much done

What has she done? She’s had surgery

But she knows what she wants, and she doesn’t care anymore

She’s tired of feeling like she belongs to everyone

When she’s all hers

She doesn’t want to be the perfect girl

♪ CUANDO ES SOLO DE ELLA ♪

No, no, no

She’s tired of it, and it’s not her fault

If she doesn’t care what they say about her

She doesn’t want to be the perfect girl

No, no, no

They call me “The Sweet One,” because all my life

ME LLAMAN LA AGRADO, PORQUE TODA MI VIDA

I’ve only tried to make life pleasant for others

Besides being kind, I’m very authentic

Look at my body, all tailor-made

She’s tired of feeling like she belongs to everyone

When she’s all hers

She doesn’t want to be the perfect girl

No, no, no

She’s tired of it, and it’s not her fault

If she doesn’t care what they say about her

She doesn’t want to be the perfect girl

No, no, no

She doesn’t want to be the perfect girl

♪ (ELLA NO QUIERE SER LA CHICA PERFECTA) ♪

She doesn’t want to be the perfect girl

She doesn’t want to be the perfect girl
