Why? In a world of ugly faces
Should I be allowed to be so hot
So many people without talent
Yet I was born with all the magical gifts I got

The perfect body, the perfect face
It's like god's best work all in one place
For the haters ain't perfection
Can't you see?

It's a burden being wonderful like me

How? In a world that's so imperfect
Did I wind up with so much cool
Friends never stick around too long
They never feel like they belong
Next to me they feel like a fool

I've got the grace of dancer, a golden voice
People seem to hate me like I had a choice
Being this bliss is a lonely way to be

It's a burden being wonderful like me
Like me

So you say you wanna hang around
Don't ever ask me to turn it down
I'm a diamond, I'm gonna shine
Compared to everyone else
I'm like a whole damn diamond mine

Oh, yeah

I'm just a maserati in a world of kias
Genius would describe any of my ideas
If I was born in 1453
Leonardo da vinci would be jealous of me
But a world of stevie wonders would never see

It's a burden being wonderful like me
