A Song About Acne Lyrics by ​dodie

2015

[Charlie Mc Donnell]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Spots on my face, too much acne to embrace
The person behind them
Zits on my back, with heads bright white, scarlet, and black
In much too much an awkward place to pop them
[dodie]
Pimples on my chest, probably there because I'm stressed
About the people talking behind my back
[dodie & Charlie McDonnell]
About the spots on my face, the ones I wish I could erase
Just like the so-called friends that like to tease me about them
[dodie & Charlie McDonnell]
Clearasil and Freederm, sitting in my bathroom
The spots on my face can confirm that they don't really work
Proactiv solution deserves an execution
For being an ablution that does nothing but smirk at me
'Cause I'm an acne-ridden teen
[dodie & Charlie McDonnell]
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Countless times I've tried and tried but my skin just ends up all dry
And I am left wanting to say inside
[dodie]
But then one day I said: "Dodie, it's not as bad as it could be
They're only spots, it's not like you've died"
[Charlie McDonnell]
Be a man, be who you are, but try not to pop them in case they scar
Even though squeezing them is fun, fun, fun
[dodie]
Understand at the end of the day to put your hands down and say okay
Get out of the bathroom, and lie out in the sun
[dodie (spoken)]
Because I heard that that helps!
[dodie & Charlie McDonnell]
Clearasil and Freederm, sitting in my bathroom
The spots on my face can confirm that they don't really work
Proactiv solution deserves an execution
For being an ablution that does nothing but smirk at me
'Cause I'm an acne-ridden teen
But I won't let that define me
Because the people that mind don't matter
And the people that matter don't mind
So when all that puss goes splatter
You'll wipe it off your mirror, and wipe it from your mind
'Cause you could try a dairy free diet
And drink eight cups of water a day
But in the end, your acne will still run riot
'Cause the hormones that cause them just won't go away
[dodie (spoken)]
Okay? here we go!
[dodie & Charlie McDonnell]
[Scat Solo]
[dodie & Charlie McDonnell]
Clearasil and Freederm, sitting in my bathroom
The spots on my face can confirm that they don't really work
Proactiv solution deserves an execution
For being an ablution that does nothing but smirk at me
[dodie & Charlie McDonnell]
'Cause I'm an acne-ridden, somewhat smelly, kind of weird
But generally, A-OK teen
