Beautiful Little Fools
Jorja Smith Lyrics

Beautiful little fools
Women are programmed by society to be naive and foolish, thinking that beauty and adoration are the ultimate goals of life.

That's what us girls are destined for
From the day a girl is born, they are taught that their worth and value is tied to their physical appearance, and being admired by others, especially men.

Born to be adored
Women are taught that they need to be attractive and pleasing to others in order to be valued and loved.

Where is the feminine race?
Where are the strong, independent women that society claims to value and admire?

Where are these so-called independent women?
Why do we not see more women who are truly independent and confident in themselves, rather than relying on the opinions and approval of others?

Who pick up their flaws
Why do women focus so much on their perceived flaws and imperfections, rather than embracing and loving themselves as they are?

And let the world in
Why do women allow themselves to be influenced and defined by societal expectations and pressures?

Most of these girls pick up her brush
Many women use makeup as a way to paint over their true selves, hiding their flaws and conforming to societal beauty standards.

They might not like art, but their face is a canvas
Women use their faces as a medium to create a socially acceptable version of themselves, even if it is not true to who they really are.

Designing something that is not their reflection
Women create an idealized version of themselves that conforms to societal beauty standards, rather than embracing their true selves.

Becoming a beautiful little Hollywood perception
Women strive to look like the idealized Hollywood version of beauty, even if it means becoming a fake and conformist version of themselves.

Didn't your mother ever tell you love yourself?
Why are women not taught to love and accept themselves as they are, rather than seeking validation and approval from others?

Well if your mother was Zelda or Daisy, I guess not
Even women who were raised to be strong and independent often cannot escape society's pressure to conform to beauty standards and be adored by others.

Why can't you be a beautiful little girl
Women should be allowed to embrace their childhood selves, with all their innocence and authenticity, rather than being forced to become an idealized version of beauty.

Instead of being a beautiful little fool?
Women should not have to be foolish and naive, believing that their worth is tied to their physical appearance and adoration by others.

I guess we're all just beautiful little girls
Even as grown women, we are still striving to be loved and accepted, just like little girls who want to be accepted and recognized by their parents.

Playing a game of being fooled, yeah
Women are caught in a game where they are constantly striving to be beautiful and perfect, even though they know it is an unrealistic and unattainable standard.

We're all just born to be adored
Women are conditioned to believe that their worth is tied to their physical appearance, and they must be adored and admired by others in order to be valued.
