She was a pretty little mess, One two many drinks, A silly teenage fool, One that doesn't think. They all called her a ***** She wore a very short black dress They said: ***** little **** She thought: "but am I pretty yet?" She danced against the wall Until she caught an eye She stumbled to the settee Sat down on someones knee They didn't talk for long, No, they didn't speak at all; Only breaths and gasps and whispers The sound of a mistake Of course, she had planned this all And hoped that he might call She blamed it on the drink She said she didn't think This happened many times, Each night a new regret And every morning she wondered "Am I pretty yet?"

Am I pretty yet
She was a pretty little mess, One two many drinks, A silly teenage fool, One that doesn't think. They all called her a ***** She wore a very short black dress They said: ***** little **** She thought: "but am I pretty yet?" She danced against the wall Until she caught an eye She stumbled to the settee Sat down on someones knee They didn't talk for long, No, they didn't speak at all; Only breaths and gasps and whispers The sound of a mistake Of course, she had planned this all And hoped that he might call She blamed it on the drink She said she didn't think This happened many times, Each night a new regret And every morning she wondered "Am I pretty yet?"
