Beauty Pageant Lyrics:
So it starts with a girl In a bar, and she's singing from the heart Glitter curtain, sticky floors She would die for the applause Twenty-five, still alive You'll find me chronically online Dry my tears, I'm good to go
'Cause I'm too young, too sad Too numb to give a damn I'll strike a pose, I'm ready Come on and make me pretty The stage is yours Don't forget to have a ball One day, I'll make you love me Come on and make me pretty
Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
So I dance till I drop Pull on my strings and wind me up I'll be your favourite, till I'm not Like a song that you forgot I'll wear a dress I can't afford You're not in the Midlands anymore I click my heels and wish for home
But I'm too young, too sad Too numb to give a damn I'll strike a pose, I'm ready Come on and make me pretty The stage is yours Don't forget to have a ball One day, I'll make you love me Come on and make me pretty
I pray that one day I'll turn and face the mirror With a smile, oh-woah (Turn and face the mirror and smile) You're gonna crush it, sweetie pie
But I'm too young, too sad Too dumb to stand a chance I'll strike a pose, I'm ready Come on and make me pretty This is what you wanted, after all Just don't forget to have a ball One day I'll make you love me Come on and make me pretty
Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
