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 [Chorus] '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 [Post-Chorus] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] I pray that one day I'll turn and face the mirror with a smile (Turn and face the mirror) Away (And smile) You're gonna crush it, sweetie pie [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm [Outro] I won't stop until you love me Come on and make me pretty
