Pretty Me - Laura Jansen

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 heath 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

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 heath 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
