Beauty Queen

It's sort of funny, but this one came to me as I was brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed last night. It's one of my more sassy ones about how not every girl is a Barbie Doll or a, well, beauty queen. It's a girl power anthem against fitting into that sort of mold because being real and being yourself is so much more beautiful. xoxo

Here she comes now
I can see her walking down the block
A picture of perfection with a million-dollar smile
Like she just walked off the assembly line

Well, she's a walkin', talkin' beauty queen
That still don't mean she's got anything on me
So let her try to change the world
Bat those pretty little eyes
That don't mean there's any truth to her lies
Just remember, just remember, just remember
Sometimes the beauty queens are the ugly ones

I know I don't look like her
You'd be surprised at what you'll find, if only you'd dig a little deeper
She may be a nice piece of arm candy to show off to everyone
But candy, it gets sour when left out in the sun too long

Well, she's a walkin', talkin' beauty queen
That still don't mean she's got anything on me
So let her try to change the world
Bat those pretty little eyes
That don't mean there's any truth to her lies
Just remember, just remember, just remember
Sometimes the beauty queens are the ugly ones

So you pinch her just to make sure she's really
And all the while, you wonder why you never feel anything when you're with her

Well, she's a walkin', talkin' beauty queen
That still don't mean she's got anything on me
So let her try to change the world
Bat those pretty little eyes
That don't mean there's any truth to her lies
Just remember, just remember, just remember
Sometimes the beauty queens are the ugly ones

Well, she's a walkin', talkin' beauty queen
That still don't mean she's got anything on me
So let her try to change the world
Bat those pretty little eyes
That don't mean there's any truth to her lies
Just remember, just remember, just remember
Sometimes the beauty queens are the ugly ones

You never feel anything when you're with her
