If you think I live
That happy, perfect life
 Clear of hatred, envy,
The violence and strife
 If you believe
That how I live
 Is a happy little life
With so much love to give
 So much caring
Love and laughter
 That my world is perfect
That happy ever after
 If you don't think I hurt
Don't think I cry
 That I never feel
Like I'm dying inside
 That I'm put together
And my smiles are real
 That I have someone
To share the hurt I feel
 If your image of me
Is the American scene
 Happy teenage girl
Chasing after her dream
 That I have that house
With the white picket fence
 The perfect family
Few times that are tense
 If you think I'm perfect
Take a look under the hood
 You're wrong. I'm just so
Perfectly misunderstood
