Ordinary Girl

Cute long legs with strappy lacy shoes Glamor wears and classy hairdos Eloquent speech with flawless quotes Elegant grace and so much banknotes All they see is a damsel in pearls All She wants to be is that ordinary girl Miss perfection with expensive condos Always found in exclusive talk shows Every other girl wants her autograph Signed on her most current photograph All they see is a damsel in pearls All she wants to be is that ordinary girl She sneaks to an Italian bistro Just to catch a hand of hot dog Working with so much hardihood Just to please the neighborhood All they see is a damsel in pearls All she wants to be is that ordinary girl Wishing she could trade all this fame To be with her girls even if it’s in shame The world would never discern How much her heart so burns So she has to stop living In pearls Just to become that ordinary girl
