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 some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cuz someday you're going to get hungry
And eat most of the words you just said
Both my parents taught me about good will
And I have done well by their names
Just the kindness i've lavished on strangers
Is more than I can explain
Still there's manyÂÂ
Who've turned out their porch lights
Just so I would think they were not home
And hid in the dark of their windows
Til I'd passed and left them alone
And god help you if you are an ugly girl
Cause too pretty is also your doom
Cuz everyone harbors a secret hatred
For the prettiest girl in the room
And god help you if you are a phoenix
And you dare to rise up from the ash
A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
While you are just flying past
I never tried to give my life meaning
By demeaning you
And 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 way
No, I will never be a saint
But I will always say
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 some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cuz someday you might find you're starving
And eating all of the words you said
We recommend: Little Green Men
I've got a two room flat with a view of the bridge
That crosses over into Arkansas
It's pretty to see all lit up at night
Tips are good, waitin' tables at a downtown restaurant
You sound a little surprised that I might be
Doing all right
Yeah, this is a big town, and I still
Get lost sometimes
A lot has changed since Montgomery and when
You said goodbye
Looking back at when I was I can see how
Far I've come
From a nobody with a broken heart to feeling
Like someone
Now you say you want me back boy let me
Tell yo
