Eye shadow hides how I see my day
Foundation smoothes all the pain away
Lipstick shapes what I wish to say
And mascara holds all the tears at bay

(Chorus)
And I say "Hey! Is this life for me?"
I say "I'm cool. I'm wearing Maybelline."
And I say "Hey! Is this life for me?"
I say "I'm cool. I'm wearing Maybelline."

I do my face and wash my man
I listen to the books and talk to the land
I watch the radio and smell the mystery
My life's a cereal box or maybe that's just me

(Chorus)
And I say "Hey! Is this life for me?"

I say "I'm cool. I'm wearing Maybelline."
And I say "Hey! Is this life for me?"
I say "I'm cool. I'm wearing Maybelline."

Is there hope for a girl deep in confusion?
Will I shed my mask? Is there Resolution?
Will I come into my own, leave the mask behind?
I'm not asking for much, just a peace of mind

I sit and watch my MTV
Look past the act and what do you see?
I'm just your average everyday teen
I'm a carbon copy of Seventeen Magazine

(Chorus)
And I say "Hey! Is this life for me?"
I say "I'm cool. I'm wearing Maybelline."
And I say "Hey! Is this life for me?"
I say "I'm cool. I'm wearing Maybelline."
