Laura Jansen - Pretty Me

Five years old, in my pink tutu
I was spinning, spinning
and no one ever knew

That these bruises hold a dirty clue
I was spinning, spinning
and no ever knew

Oh, pretty, pretty me
I am the prettiest girl you ever did see, yeah
Oh, pretty, pretty me
I am the prettiest girl you ever did see

Seventh grade, my boyfriend made
a joke about the way I looked in the pool
So I never ate, and I looked great
But I was spinning, spinning and no one ever knew Oh, pretty, pretty me
I am the prettiest girl you ever did see
Oh, pretty, pretty me
I am the prettiest girl you ever did see

Twenty eight years old
As I'm getting dressed I'm told,
I am the prettiest girl he ever did see
But six months on, and that dress is gone
Because the aisle is too long for me
Oh

Two bags, a ticket, a couch in L.A.
Nothing left to prove, finally something to say
I am wise enough now, smart enough now
I own my own mistakes
But I got no job, I got no car, No Driver's License,
No cash, no savings, no health care, No furniture,
No place to live, no RIA, no retirement scheme,
No winter coat, no Christmas tree, no family near me,
No money for morning coffee, and no way to pay off my debt

But I am dreaming

Oh, pretty, pretty me
I am the prettiest girl you ever did see, yeah
Oh, pretty, pretty me
I am the prettiest girl you ever did see
You ever did see, yeah, yeah
