    As a black girl, this song brought back painful memories of being told I don’t like black girls because they are loud and ghetto and I don’t like dark skin girls. Often it was black men who told me this. I had to question every man I dated even my own race if they liked black girls. I was also bullied in school for being black and darker skin. I remember wishing I was lighter skin with straight hair and light eyes so that I would be treated better. 😓

      you’ll never be the beauty standard because you aren’t white. the beauty standard was only meant for white women and no matter how hard woc/black women try they’ll never live up to that. once you realize you’ll never fit into it you’ll be a lot happier. i’m a lot happier knowing that i’m my own center of beauty and that i don’t fit inside the norm.

    [Verse 1]
    If I could, I'd be your little spoon
    And kiss your fingers forevermore
    But, big spoon, you have so much to do
    And I have nothing ahead of me
    You're the sun, you've never seen the night
    But you hear its song from the morning birds
    Well I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star
    But awake at night I'll be singing to the birds
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Don't wait for me, I can't come
    [Chorus]
    Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
    But I do, I think I do
    And you're an all-American boy
    I guess I couldn't help trying to be your best American girl
    [Verse 2]
    You're the one
    You're all I ever wanted
    I think I'll regret this
    [Chorus]
    Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
    But I do, I finally do
    And you're an all-American boy
    I guess I couldn't help trying to be the best American girl
    Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
    But I do, I think do

      That's a nono, let's not get carried away and actually listen to what Mitski is singing. You DON'T want to go through something similar to what she shares by her voice, lyrics and all of her...
