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 |
