32 Flavors |
| 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 |
