Not a Pretty Girl

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I am not a pretty girl That is not what I do I ain't no damsel in distress And I don't need to be rescued, so So put me down, punk Wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair? Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere? I am not an angry girl But it seems like I've got everyone fooled Every time I say something they find hard to hear They chalk it up to my anger And never to their own fear, imagine you're a girl Just trying to finally come clean Knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty And smiling, and I am sorry But I am not a maiden fair And I am not a kitten Stuck up a tree somewhere And generally my generation Wouldn't be caught dead working for the man And generally I agree with them Trouble is you got to have yourself An alternate plan, and I have earned my disillusionment I have been working All of my life And I am a patriot I have been fighting the good fight And what if there are no damsels in distress? What if I knew that, and I called your bluff? Don't you think every kitten Figures out how to get down Whether or not you ever show up? I am not a pretty girl I don't really want to be a pretty girl I wanna be more than a pretty girl
