The Ugly Truth (UglyDolls)

"The Ugly Truth" is the fourth of eleven original songs featured in UglyDolls. It serves as the film's main villain song, sung by Lou, and also three male Perfect Dolls as background singers, as he explains that only the dolls he considers perfect enough for his rigorous standards can attend the Institute of Perfection (through which they can go to the Big World), while the ones he deems ugly, including Moxy and her friends he spots in the crowd, have no possible future there.
