The Problem

The girl with a piece of lint stuck in her hair

Always thinking life’s not fair

The lint is her problem that never seems to go away

No matter what she may do or say

The problem never goes away

The girl with a piece of lint stuck in her hair

Her complexion, so beautiful and fair

She thinks to herself that she’s ugly

But others see differently

That lint in her hair, so unattractive to her

Now she’s fading away, my vision of her has now turned to a blur

The girl with a piece of lint stuck in her hair
