It's obvious she'd be your choice
she has the straightest hair, the sweetest voice
she's student council president
speaks french with the best accent
When she's there
the boys can't help but stare
oh! oh! it's so unfair!
Melanie, melanie
you'll be the death of me
i'll take a straightening iron to my hair
i'll try to wear the clothes she wears
i know it's not the smartest thing to do;
i shouldn't change myself for you.
I'll never have her gpa
i'll never top her college essay
i'll never have her tiny waist;
maybe that's why i was replaced.
can't bring myself to not eat meat
my room will never be that neat.
I don't care
i don't have a prayer
oh! oh! it's so unfair.
Melanie, melanie
you'll be the death of me
i'll take a straightening iron to my hair
i'll try to wear the clothes she wears
i know it's not the smartest thing to do;
i shouldn't change myself for you.
