Squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cuz someday you're going to get hungry
And eat most of the words you just said
Both my parents taught me about good will
And I have done well by their names
Just the kindness i've lavished on strangers
Is more than I can explain
Still there's manyÂÂ
Who've turned out their porch lights
Just so I would think they were not home
And hid in the dark of their windows
Til I'd passed and left them alone
And god help you if you are an ugly girl
Cause too pretty is also your doom
Cuz everyone harbors a secret hatred
For the prettiest girl in the room
And god help you if you are a phoenix
And you dare to rise up from the ash
A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
While you are just flying past
I never tried to give my life meaning
By demeaning you
And I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that i'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
No, I will never be a saint
But I will always say
Squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cuz someday you might find you're starving
And eating all of the words you said
We recommend: Wasted Away
Wondering, what's your name
(And could I get ya?)
I'm hoping that you feel the same
Baby, what's on your mind?
Darlin' don't you know it's the perfect time
You know I'm gonna make you mine
Girl I'm gonna get ya
You know I need you in my world
You know I'm gonna get ya
I'm begging you to be my girl
Even though you might be scared
I promise I'll be there
Girl I'm gonna get ya tonight
Now that we're all alone
I'm looking in your eyes
(Can you see me?)
Girl, this is no surprise
I think I'm falling in love
