    I LOVE how the meaning of ‘straight hair’ changes when the main character (who was adopted) is black. It’s another part of her identity that she’s ‘straightening out’ to make assimilate and succeed in a (presumably white upper middle class) community.

    I just noticed she's wearing a cheerleader outfit!!! I love how feathery her voice sounds if that makes sense? It's like she's floating but her acting is JUST like how when your friend is telling you about a crush they're in denial about lol

    This is probably the best version I've heard of this song! She literally did so well. The facials and the acting were so good.

      Fr, I am so used to the recording, but seeing this live version I really liked the acting and interpretaion

    okay but that expectation that she sings about being little miss perfect is so much different sung by a black girl!! There's an added level of nunce with all the lines of her striving to be perfect because for girls who grew up in marginalised communities or even indigenous communities (like me lol) the level feels so much higher than anyone else's and that push to be perfect for your community and for your family while also grappling with your sexuality is so tragic-- this was perfect!!!

    I can’t express how much I love this song. The melody, the dynamics, the lyrics, each performer’s unique take on the character. Truly a masterpiece

    her voice is so good (THE RIFFS) but mind blank all i can think about is the fact that ‘straight girl’ kept doing fruity wrist bend at “i make a point to be on time”😭 like honey nobody’s gonna buy that you’re straight💀

    Straight hair, straight A's, straight forward
    Straight path, I don't cut corners
    I make a point to be on time
    Head out the student council
    I don't black out at parties
    I jam to Paul McCartney
    If you ask me how I'm doing, I'll say
    Well, hmm
    I was adopted when I was two
    My parents spoiled me rotten
    Often I ask myself, what did I do
    To get as far as I've gotten?
    A pretty girl walks by my locker
    My heart gives a flutter, but I don't dare utter a word
    'Cause that would be absurd behavior for Little Miss Perfect
    Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, no
    I can't risk falling off my throne
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
    Is something I don't even know
    Straight hair, straight A's
    Straight forward, straight girl
    Little Miss Perfect, that's me
    One night, my friend stayed over
    We laughed, and drink and ordered
    Something about her drew me in
    What? It's totally platonic
    That night was so exciting
    Her smirks were so enticing
    Hours speed by like seconds
    Then, what happens is iconic
    She takes a sip, I bite my lip
    She tells a joke, I nearly choke
    She braids my hair, I sit there
    Blacking out for the first time
    Next thing I know, I lose control
    I finally kiss her, but, oh, no
    I see a face in my window
    Then my brain starts to go
    Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, no
    You can't risk falling off your throne
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
    Is something I don't even know
    Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
    You can't risk falling off your throne
    La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love
    You don't even know
    Rewind, induce amnesia
    Deny the truth, that's easier
    You're just confused, believe her
    When she says there's nothing there
    It's never worth it
    When you're Little Miss Perfect
