Pretty Girl Blues

from The Freshman Experiment

I look so fine that no one likes to walk with me.
My hair’s so poker straight I go to clubs for free.
But when I get inside there’s not a girl as pretty.
No one understands my plight in this whole damn city.

I got a new haircut, new dress, a pair of new shoes.
I got an attitude that might be rude but that’s how I cruise.
I got a palpitating heart in my itty bitty chest
So I’m the best dressed who's (who's) got the pretty girl blues.

I’m not complaining bout the fringe benefits
I’m stuck with this dilemma cuz the Prada shoe fits.
I know I know I know I got a good thing going.
But up here on my pedestal it’s not so easy knowing.

I got a new haircut, new dress, a pair of new shoes.
I got an attitude that might be rude but that’s how I cruise.
I got a palpitating heart in my 32-D chest
So I’m the one who’s getting lonely feeling she’s the only one
who's (who's) got the pretty girl blues (blues).

Nobody can fathom the price tag of my perfection.
No one knows the beauty queen’s plight.
With the manicures
The pedicures
Preventative botox, vegan,
No-tox chemical face peels every night
to keep my skin tight.
I got a new haircut.
I got a new haircut.

I got a new haircut, a new dress, a pair of new shoes
I got an attitude that might be rude, but that’s how I cruise
I got a palpitating heart in my itty-bitty chest.
So tell me true is that a way to treat a lady who is only tryin’ to find a man who understands that she’s only one who's (who's) got the pretty girl blues.

I got the pretty girl blues. (etc.)
