| Well, I got up my nerve to get up and ask you
|
| If you’d be inclined to dance
|
| You looked at me like I was some kind of pervert
|
| And said, «I'd rather not, but thanks»
|
| I thought to myself «I'd rather not either
|
| If you’re gonna treat me so mean»
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| But girl, that don’t make you no queen
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| But the dance is almost over
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| But the dance is almost done
|
| And you ain’t got a thing but this dream that you cling on
|
| Of being the belle of the ball
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| But girl, that’s pretty much all
|
| Now, ain’t you got nothing to learn like a lesson
|
| As you’re walking home all alone
|
| Wasn’t your outfit beautiful perfection
|
| But tell me dear, who’d ever know
|
| Oh, all across town there’s big ugly girls
|
| And they’re giggling and they’re unwrapping condoms
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| Girl, that might be your problem
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| But the dance is almost over
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| But the dance is almost done
|
| And you ain’t got a thing but this dream that you cling on
|
| Of being the belle of the ball
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| But girl, that’s pretty much all
|
| Now, if you don’t mind, I’ll tell you your fortune
|
| You’re gonna get old and die
|
| And you’re gonna get fat and you’re gonna get ugly
|
| And you’re gonna sit there and cry
|
| Well, I don’t need no Tarot or no crystal ball
|
| And I don’t wanna look at your palms
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| But pretty don’t stay pretty for long
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| But the dance is almost over
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| But the dance is almost done
|
| And you ain’t got a thing but this dream that you cling on
|
| Of being the belle of the ball
|
| You’re the prettiest girl at the dance
|
| But girl, that’s pretty much all |
