| Lyrics |
squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then someand I'm beyond your peripheral visionso you might want to turn your headcause someday you're going to get hungryand eat most of the words you just saidboth my parents taught me about good willand I have done well by their namesjust the kindness I've lavished on strangersis more than I can explainstill there's many who've turned out their porch lightsjust so I would think they were not homeand hid in the dark of their windowstil I'd passed and left them aloneand god help you if you are an ugly girlcourse too pretty is also your doomcause everyone harbors a secret hatredfor the prettiest girl in the roomand god help you if you are a pheonixand you dare to rise up from the asha thousand eyes will smolder with jealousywhile you are just flying back
I'm not trying to give my life meaningby demeaning youand I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that wayno, I will never be a saintbut I will always saysquint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you're starvingand eating all of the words you said
