I plucked my eyebrows
To a shape of pity and despair
I searched the mountains and the valleys
Looking for a care
There upon the television
Beauty pure and rare
Something tells me a load of bullshit
Stinky and unfair
I wore a new dress
Made from finest Chinese silken thread
A dress made to wear on my wedding day
Or maybe when I’m dead
The rose petals fall
They fall so gently one by one
All that is left is a stem
The rose is simply done
But I’m not pretty ma, I’m not pretty, no!
I don’t even care about my clothes
I’m not pretty ma, and someday I will die
I am more than what meets the eye!
When I first learned how
How to make a real friend
My imagination proved to be
A true love without end
But when I grew up
I got stupid in my head
Swallowing bullshit
All the bullshit that I had been fed
But I’m not pretty ma, I’m not pretty, no!
I don’t even care about my clothes
I’m not pretty ma, and someday I will die
I am more than what meets the eye!
I’m not pretty, ma, I’m not pretty, no!
And I don’t even care about who may know
I’m not pretty ma, and someday I will die
I am more than what meets the eye
