[Verse 1]
This morning it occurred to me
I might not look quite like a natural blonde
And I couldn't help but feel conned
The picture on the packet
Showed a model with no baggage
Promising wild sex and marriage
With a big colour chart wand

[Verse 2]
This morning it occurred to me
I never will quite have a supermodel's legs
(Never in a million years)
Unless I cut each one in half
Become half an octopus
The two become synonymous
With cocaine, glamour
Riches, beauty, and crack

[Pre-Chorus]
I took a trip to the National Gallery for
Something more refreshing in what Rubens saw

[Chorus]
My supermodel's legs
Think they were plucked from a Ruben-esque world
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
My supermodel's legs
Look pretty crap on a five-foot-four girl
(Oh, oh, oh)

[Refrain]
Women, men, and in-betweens
Why don't you just stop dieting?
Go bake, eat cake
Go cheer, drink beer!
Worrying is boring

[Verse 3]
If people said "eat loads of cake"
You wouldn't want much anyway
And then you would stuff your face
And look like King Henry the Eighth
Instead we're told off every day
For living our lives the wrong damn way
Suck my left one's what I say
If I want six coffees a day

[Refrain]
Women, men, and in-betweens
Why don't you just stop dieting?
Go bake, eat cake
Go cheer, drink beer!
Worrying is boring

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I get more turned on by big cupcakes than heroin
Not 'rock and roll' and much more 'Mary Poppins'

[Chorus]
Oh supermodel's legs
They never held up much weight in my world
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh supermodel's legs
'Cause women should be women
Girls should be allowed to be girls
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Outro]
(Too right!)

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
