9 to 5 Original Broadway Cast, Megan Hilty - Backwoods Barbie lyrics

Now I've always been misunderstood
Because of how I look
Don't judge me by the cover
'Cause I'm a real good book
So read into it what you will
But see me as I am the way I look is just
A country girl's idea of glam

Now I grew up poor and ragged
Just a simple country girl
I wanted to be pretty
More than anything in the world
Like Barbie or the models
In the Frederick's catalog
From rags to wishes, in my dreams
I could have it all

I'm just a backwoods Barbie

Too much makeup, too much hair

Don't be fooled by thinkin' that

The goods are not all there
Don't let these false eyelashes
Lead you to believe
That I'm as shallow as I look
'Cause I run true and deep

I'm just a backwoods Barbie

In a push-up bra and heels

I might look artificial

But where it counts I'm real
Yes I can see where I could be
Misjudged upon first glance
But even backwoods Barbies
Deserve a second chance

All dolled up and hopin'
For a chance to prove my worth
'Cause even backwoods Barbies
Get their feelings hurt
