Story Behind The Song
I once knew someone who inspired this song. She walked around and kind of looked down on everyone because she thought she was "all that". We used to joke that maybe someday, we could all be as cool as she was.

I couldn't really find an accurate description to choose from above, and it's more Alanis Morissette than Sheryl Crow...but I couldn't find her in the choices!

Lyrics
(Verse)
It must be so hard being you
Watchin' the world go 'round and round
With you in the middle
I don't know how you do what you do
Your make-up's never messy,
Not even just a little
(Pre Chorus)
I don't think anybody knows
How much you think of you
And how far you'll go, baby
(Chorus)
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Soon everyone will realize that you're perfect
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok
Have a little patience, we can't all be like you
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Come on baby, show me how you do it
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok
Maybe then someday I can be perfect too
(Verse)
It must be so hard being you
Looking out on everyone from way up there
I wouldn't wanna wear your shoes
'Cuz everybody says that I've got better hair
(Pre Chorus + Chorus)
(Spoken)
You know, I don't know why everyone wants to be just like you
With your perfect car and your perfect smile
Are those real?
You know, I think in a perfect world, it'd probably be you and...well, just you
(Chorus)
