K-Pop: Fat Cat - Is Being Pretty Everything?

Way back in my junior year, Spring of 2010 specifically, I took a poetry class. I wrote about the contrast between North American music and Japanese music. Recently, in my exploration of K-pop, I've found similar contrasts.

A great example is Fat Cat's "Is Being Pretty Everything?" The basis for the song is that guys only like pretty faces and (while Fat Cat is very pretty) she doesn't want to be just that. She says, "Other parts of me are prettier; But they're not parts that can be seen." She asks if being pretty is everything? Is she a good-for-nothing? Is she that unworthy? She even asks, "Does a pretty face feed you?"

I like this song with it's upbeat sound and message that if a guy likes you just because your pretty, not because of what's inside too, then tell them to piss off (she does say that!)

Comments? Thoughts?

English Translation:

Oh oh oh ohohoh

Oh oh oh ohohoh

I'm your beautiful

You're beautiful

Men are all the same these days
They only like pretty faces
Why is every single guy like that?
Other parts of me are prettier
But they're not parts that can be seen
And everyone says that I am ugly

I want to be in love now
I want to be obviously in love
I want an honest person
Is being pretty everything?

Do you only look at the outer image?
Please stop now and look at my heart (look look look)

Am I good-for-nothing?

Am I that unworthy?
That's so not cool, look at my heart (look look look)

Oh oh oh ohohoh

Oh oh ohohoh

I'm your beautiful

You're beautiful

Do pretty faces feed you?
They become the same after a month
Why, why are guys like this?
"It's always the ugly ones who complain more"
Jerks who say that, please piss off
The outside and inside aren't always the same

I want to be in love now
I want to be obviously in love
I want a person who will only care for me
Is being pretty everything?

Do you only look at the outer image?
Please stop now and look at my heart (look look look)

Am I good-for-nothing?

Am I that unworthy?
That's so not cool, look at my heart (look look look)

I am the Fat Cat - are you curious about me?
Do you even know about the scars you gave me with your toenails?
Look at my eyes, look at my crying heart
Look at my two eyes that are waiting for your love

Are you a hotshot?

Are you that much of a hotshot?
That's so not cool, look at yourself (look look look)

Is being pretty everything?

Do you only look at the outer image?
Please stop now and look at my heart (look look look)

Oh oh oh ohohoh

Oh oh ohohoh

I'm your beautiful

You're beautiful
