I don't believe in cartoon dreamgirls Overblown endowments and matching egos I never sought perfection Love always seemed a lie A girl in a bar, Seems so cheap and cliche Yet, the truth is what it is I turned to leave, the door in sight A spilled drink and a smile. Where I once ran to escape Now I linger in the sweetest gaze Apologies and kindness silent in the beat I dreamed of blue eyes Yet these are twinkling in caramel I dreamed in shades of blonde Wisps of raven hair reflect the dancing light A drink and a breath of fresh air Reveal humor dry enough to rival my own She gives as good as she gets And doesn't miss a beat Behind those strong opinions Is a hidden tenderness There is perfection in that crooked smile I don't believe in cartoon dreamgirls Vapid and narcissistic Barbie doll nightmares But disguised in reality I have found the girl of my dreams

Disguised in Reality
I don't believe in cartoon dreamgirls Overblown endowments and matching egos I never sought perfection Love always seemed a lie A girl in a bar, Seems so cheap and cliche Yet, the truth is what it is I turned to leave, the door in sight A spilled drink and a smile. Where I once ran to escape Now I linger in the sweetest gaze Apologies and kindness silent in the beat I dreamed of blue eyes Yet these are twinkling in caramel I dreamed in shades of blonde Wisps of raven hair reflect the dancing light A drink and a breath of fresh air Reveal humor dry enough to rival my own She gives as good as she gets And doesn't miss a beat Behind those strong opinions Is a hidden tenderness There is perfection in that crooked smile I don't believe in cartoon dreamgirls Vapid and narcissistic Barbie doll nightmares But disguised in reality I have found the girl of my dreams
