tied up my hair in a bow and i walked to the store

losing a pound and parading around

i don’t know what to do anymore

sat on the edge of my bed and i said a prayer

forgot all the hurt and put on my new skirt

because i knew that you would be there

did you want me

for more than my body?

it still haunts me

the prettiest girl in the whole wide world

she cries like a baby and sings like a bird

the day that she met you she broke her own rule

the best thing to be is a beautiful fool

the prettiest girl that you’ve ever seen

she showers for hours but never gets clean

she opened her eyes and she painted them blue

she did it so she could look pretty for you

played you a song that i wrote and got plastered that night

i never knew why you were always so high

but i figured that it was alright

took the train up to my mom’s house so you two could meet

and maybe you met her but you liked me better

when i was quiet and sweet

did you want me

for more than my body?

are you sorry?

the prettiest girl in the whole wide world

she cries like a baby and sings like a bird

the day that she met you she broke her own rule

the best thing to be is a beautiful fool

the prettiest girl that you’ve ever seen

she showers for hours but never gets clean

she opened her eyes and she painted them blue

she did it so she could look pretty for you

like a painting, like a picture

she was crying when you kissed her

all the colors in the mixture

you were never gonna fix her

mirror mirror on the wall

who’s embarrassed of it all?

you felt smart when i felt small

a work of art up on your wall
