... and I ask myself if times have really changed...

Poor western twenty first century girl

be saint and you'll marry someday, but be aware you’ll be cheated and hurt

but not too spiceless... or you won't even get married

be bad and you’ll be desired, but despised

be pretty, but never vulgar

because those girls in magazines are only to be used

however you’re different

you’re gonna have children and clean a house

you’re gonna work in a company and share all bills with your husband

forget all this "being modern" stuff

even when everybody else in the world looks more attractive to him

be strong and work hard, but keep thin 

otherwise everything will have been in vain

your hot blood is his, pray for him to love you

and take a good care of you

if you’re bad, you’d better regret soon

otherwise boys will never respect you

the ones who have rotten minds and read those magazines

they belong to a higher court that judges who is worth of being respected or not

and some things could never be forgiven for a girl

uhum… that’s the way it is

cry on your pillow before sleeping

or lock yourself in the bathroom while taking a shower

cause it’s a cruel cruel world for those who were born in our condition

and never forget the biggest commandment of all:

be pretty, but never vulgar, my friend…
