[Verse 1]
I went to New York ’cause a man in a suit told me, “You’re gonna be a star”
I said, “Yeah, I know,” but it came out like, “What, who, me?”
I took a walk on the beach, ’cause the guy doesn’t like me back
Even though I’m gonna be a star, guess I don’t have it, guess I don’t have it after all
But it’s okay, ’cause my life is so exciting
Every night is like a party, ’cause I bit the bullet
I’m finally watching Friends
“What took me so long?”
I say to no one, ’cause I’m alone all the time
But now I’m never lonely, not since I met Joey
But when I turn the lights off, Joey doesn’t hold me

And in my darkest moment, I wonder if I met him out at a bar
If he’d seen me, a perfect star, wanna take me home for that reason only

[Chorus]
‘Cause why else would you want me?
I think I’ve got a fu*ked up face
And that thought used to haunt me
‘Til it fell in its sweet embrace
Now I don’t sweat the acne
It’s a b!tch, but it goes away
And who cares if I’m pretty?
I feel like I’m Phoebe

[Verse 2]
I feel like it totally works
When the blue in my skirt doesn’t work with the blue in my top
And if I tried to be her, it’d fall so flat, it’d feel badly
And most of these days, I feel the dull ache
But then I say, “Stop,” and then I feel great
‘Cause it could be worse, I know, I know
Know it in the worst way
We rehearsed this, mm
Everything’s okay
‘Cause my life is so enticing
In the corner, eating icing

It’s a birthday party, these people aren’t my friends
I’m thinking “So long,” amidst their deep talk
‘Bout someone they didn’t invite
But I’d rather be lonely, counted out and homely
I know that he’ll need me once he gets to know me
Wonder when I’ll meet him
Wonder if he’s sitting there at a bar and if he likes ’em all off guard
Just what they told me

[Chorus]
‘Cause why else would you want me? (Want me, mm)
I think I got a fu*ked up face (Oh)
And that thought used to haunt me (Haunt me)
‘Til I fell in its sweet embrace (Uh-huh)
Now I don’t sweat the acne (No, woah)
It’s a b!tch, but it goes away (Oh)
Who cares if I’m pretty?
I feel like I’m Phoebe
I feel like a wh*re

[Bridge]
No, I’m good, thanks for asking
That’d be awesome, but no worries if not
Best believe I can hack it
Check it out, I made it this far
Had to dig deep inside me
‘TiI I found what I was looking for
It was right there inside me (Ah)
It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (Beautiful)

[Chorus]
Why else would you want me? (Want me, want me)
I think I got a fu*ked up face (Gorgeous, amazing)
And that thought used to haunt me (Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
‘Til I fell in it’s sweet embrace (Uh-huh)
Now I don’t sweat the acne (No)
It’s a b!tch, but it goes away, yeah
Who cares if I’m pretty?
I feel like I’m Phoebe
I feel like a wh*re
Who cares if I’m pretty?
I feel like I’m Phoebe
I feel like a wh*re

[Outro]
Oh-oh
Uh, uh-uh
