[Verse 1]
Look in the broken mirror
I see the pieces of my face on the floor
What's it gonna take not to feel like this anymore?
Livin' for the outside but you're always lonely
Don't know who you are when the makeup's off... who are you?
Doesn't take much to lose yourself....

[Chorus]
Perfect girls ain't real...
They hide who they are inside
Perfect girls ain't real
They live a lie... but...
It's always on your mind
'Cause you're online all the time
Know that perfect girls ain't real
Gotta learn to love yourself
Gotta learn to love yourself
Inside and out

[Verse 2]
Playin' the perfect role
Cryin' deep inside, hoping nobody knows
Tryin' keep it together
House of cards don't fold
On every diet, I even starve myself
But he's still lookin' at everybody else
Guess it comes down to loving myself

[Chorus]
Perfect girls ain't real...
They hide who they are inside
Perfect girls ain't real
They live a lie... but...
It's always on your mind
'Cause you're online all the time
Know that perfect girls ain't real
Gotta learn to love yourself
Gotta learn to love yourself
Inside and out

[Verse 3]
Alone in the day time
Ragin thoughts going through your mind
Wishin' you had her life
Wishin' you was on the other side
You are beautiful inside
Don't you let 'em still your pride'
You should learn to live your life
For yourself, no one else

[Chorus]
Perfect girls ain't real...
They hide who they are inside
Perfect girls ain't real
They live a lie... but...
It's always on your mind
'Cause you're online all the time
Know that perfect girls ain't real
Gotta learn to love yourself
Gotta learn to love yourself
Inside and out

TLC is a trio whose musical repertoire spans over R&B, hip-hop, soul, pop, rock, funk, and new jack swing.

Consisting of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, rapper-singer Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, TLC found unprecedented success in the 1990s, not only as a musical group, but also for an extensive series of high profiled spats with the law, each other, and with their record label—all of which helped to solidify them as one of the definitive recording acts to emerge during the aforementioned time span.

The group, which is in fact the highest-selling girl group in America with 65 million records sold, is known for tackling important social issues in their music such as AIDS awareness, violence, domestic abuse, anorexia, bulimia, sexism, racism, and homophobia.
