I don't want to show my shoulders In the silky dress I bought months ago It was so surreal then And now, It's just a few hours away I can feel their eyes on me It's tonight I've never looked pretty I bit my nails to the stub I don't cover My sun burnt face With makeup Until last week I only owned two pairs of shoes Tennis shoes And slightly nicer tennis shoes I always wear my hair up So people can't see it. Tonight I have silver sandals And hard Fake nails I bought a strapless dress That I would never wear Tonight People will take pictures Of the ball gowns And the suits Will guys be wearing suits? I feel so, So, Not ready Tonight I guess I'm not myself Because I only wear sneakers And I don't wear makeup I certainly do not wear flowy pink dresses But Tonight I want to be a Princess

Tonight
I don't want to show my shoulders In the silky dress I bought months ago It was so surreal then And now, It's just a few hours away I can feel their eyes on me It's tonight I've never looked pretty I bit my nails to the stub I don't cover My sun burnt face With makeup Until last week I only owned two pairs of shoes Tennis shoes And slightly nicer tennis shoes I always wear my hair up So people can't see it. Tonight I have silver sandals And hard Fake nails I bought a strapless dress That I would never wear Tonight People will take pictures Of the ball gowns And the suits Will guys be wearing suits? I feel so, So, Not ready Tonight I guess I'm not myself Because I only wear sneakers And I don't wear makeup I certainly do not wear flowy pink dresses But Tonight I want to be a Princess
