I've never seen anything like you
Full of shine, beautiful
No one can resist you
Not too good, not too bad, not too fake and not too real!
You are perfect! Flawless
You're better than good!
You are perfect! Effortless
I wish I was like you!
You are perfection!
The perfection
You are perfection!
The perfection
Seamless, scar-free
Smoothly polished, beautiful and rich
What you need will be bought
I look good, please buy me too!
Not too good, not too bad, not too fake and not too real!
You are perfect! Flawless
You're better than good!
You are perfect! Effortless
I wish I was like you!
You are perfection!
The perfection
You are perfection!
The perfection
Not too old, not too young
Not too smart, not too dumb, completely normal
Exactly neutral, completely banal, totally irrelevant!
You are perfect! Flawless
You're better than good!
You are perfect! Effortless
I wish I was like you!
You are perfection!
The perfection
You are perfection!
The perfection
You are perfection!
The perfection
You are perfection!
The perfection
