Five years old, In my pink tutu,
I was spinning, spinning,
And no one ever knew.
But these bruises hold, a dirty clue,
I was spinning, spinning,
And no one ever knew
Oh-oh pretty, pretty me,
I am the prettiest girl you ever did see.
Oh-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,
Men, I looked great
But I was spinning, spinning,
And no one ever knew.
Oh-oh pretty, pretty me,
I am the prettiest girl you ever did see.
Oh-oh pretty, pretty me,
I am the prettiest girl you ever did see.
Twenty-eight years old,
In my wedding dress,
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.
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 drivers license,
No cash.
No saving.
No health care,
No furniture,
No place to live.
No IRA,
No Retirement Scheme.
No winter camp,
No Christmas-tree
No family, near me.
No money for morning coffee.
And no way, to pay off my debts.
But I am dreaming
Oh-oh pretty, pretty me,
I am the prettiest girl you ever did see.
Oh-oh pretty, pretty me,
I am the prettiest girl you ever did see.
You ever did see.
