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
