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've got The perfect body, the perfect face It's like God's best work all in one place But the haters hate 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 Never feel like they belong Next to me they feel like a fool I got the grace of a dancer, a golden voice People seem to hate me like I had a choice Being this blessed 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 tone it down I'm a diamond I'm gonna shine Compared to everyone else I'm like the 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 will never see It's a burden being wonderful like me
