Am I Pretty Now?

They said big jewlery's ugly. I said thats fine.They said long hairs so pretty so I cut mine.

Oh the money I would spend to get in the head of little me. Because she could always see a constant a constant smile in the mirror when she looked inside, from all the tears that she was yet to cry.

Mama says "You put on a little weight while you were broke. Now that is fine. I just thought you should know." But I all ready did. Now I know it wasn't in my head. So I switch up my plans and change up my diet. I really start trying. Cause it's scarry if your not pretty. 

So am I pretty now? Have I passed the test? Am I pretty now? Do I match the rest? So am I pretty now?

We sit around the room and complain about our day they say "oh, the boys they just won't stay away!" Like thats a crime. Sure the grass is always greener but I wish that that was mine. So I tell them it sucks and I tell my self I'll be fine. But deep down  I want to be worth crossing the line. 

So I'm not pretty now! I havn't passed the test. I'm not pretty now! I don't match the rest. I'm not pretty now.

Next I'm told I'm flat chested my my friends and family, they say it's a joke but i'm not laughing. I get some vitamins turn my B int a C. I 'tease' and say it's their fault. But no really! At least I'll be pretty.

So am I pretty now? Have I passed the test? Am I pretty now? I now match the rest! So am I pretty now?

So the boys come around looking for some fun. They ask if I were to do it how would it be done? Grown man offers me 'real money' trying to hire me. Wow! Look at my trophie. Whow knew winning would be do repulsing?

So I'm pretty now. I think I've passed the test. Am I pretty still , if I don't match the rest? Am I pretty now?

They say choice is ugly. That's fine. They say long hair is so pretty so I cut mine. Becasue it's scarry to be 'pretty'.
