All Dolled Up - Janelle Monáe, Kelly Clarkson

First, we’ll pluck a little here

Then, we’ll tuck a little there

Then, we’ll cut a little loose and apply a little mousse

To what seems to be your hair

Then, we’ll do a little tweeze

Then, we’ll do a little more

Then, we’ll wax, and then, we’ll bleach

'Til you’re smoother than a peach

Or at least a little smoother than you were before

To me, you look okay

But if you truly want me to

We’ll sculpt and mold

And change and fix you anyway

Hey (Hey), we’re getting all dolled up

Going with the flow, looking so appealing

Hey (Hey), 'cause when you’re all dolled up

No one has to know just how flawed you’re feeling

Hey, if you can hide what’s shining through

You’ll see a whole new you

So we’ll try a little mask

It’ll open up your pores

Then we’ll rub some lotion in

Then we’ll soften up your skin

So it doesn’t look like yours

Then we’ll moisten up your lips (Yeah, yeah)

Buff your toenails to a T (Yeah, yeah)

And we’ll powder up your nose

Or in your case, I suppose

We’ll just put a little powder where your nose should be

Hey (Hey), we’re getting all dolled up

Blend in with the crowd like we know we’ve got to

Hey (Hey), 'cause when you’re all dolled up

That’s when you’re allowed to pretend you’re not you

Hey, once you conceal what’s real and true

You’ll see a whole new you

Everyone, choose your weapons!

Step one, find the trendiest of outfits

Step two, pick the one that just about fits

Step three, this is absolutely key

Choose it not for you, but for who you wanna be

And then, once you know which look you’re into

Say when, and I guess we can begin to squeeze

And stretch and stuff until we nail the whole display

Hey (Hey), we’re getting all dolled up

Feeling fresh and free, looking oh, so juice

Hey (Hey), 'cause when you’re all dolled up

People only see what you want them to see

Hey, once who you are is hidden from view

You’ll be a whole new you

You’ll be a whole new you

You’ll be a whole new you

Yeah, we’re getting all dolled up

Gosh, though how I wish that I didn’t need to

Sure, look at me, all dolled up

Stuck playing a part someone else agreed to

Ooh, if I could choose who I could be

I’d choose a whole new me

I’d choose a whole new me

I’d choose a whole new me
