| Squint your eyes and look closer
|
| I’m not between you and your ambition
|
| I am a poster girl with no poster
|
| I am 32 flavors and then some
|
| And I’m beyond your peripheral vision
|
| So you might want to turn your head
|
| Cause someday you are gonna get hungry
|
| And eat most of the words you just said
|
| Both my parents taught me about goodwill
|
| 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 many who’ve turned out their porch lights
|
| Just so I would think they were not home
|
| And hid in the dark of their windows
|
| Till I’d passed and left them alone
|
| God help you if you are an ugly girl
|
| Course, too pretty is also your doom
|
| Cause 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
|
| And I’ll never try to give my life meaning
|
| By demeaning you
|
| But I would like to state for the record
|
| I did everything that I could do
|
| I’m not saying that I am 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 32 flavors and then some
|
| And I’m beyond your peripheral vision
|
| So you might want to turn your head
|
| Cause someday you might find you are starving
|
| And eating all of the words that you said |
