Dirty Pretty Songtext

von In This Moment

"So, it must be-"
"You don't know how hard it is
Being a woman

How will I ever

Live up to your expectations
Of pretty?"
Dirty pretty
Mirror mirror on the wall (Dirty pretty)

Who's the fairest of them all? (Dirty pretty)
Tell me I'm the perfect queen (Dirty pretty)
Dirty, dirty pretty
Dirty pretty

Mirror mirror in my hand (Dirty pretty)
Who's the fairest in the land? (Dirty pretty)
Are they lining up for me? (Dirty pretty)
Turn it on, tune it in, let it out (repeating)

Maybe I am not all that I've learned
Close your eyes, and you twist and you turn
I know I am more than they see
I'm everything, everything is me

I won't be what you want me to be

Your picture perfect vanity
I don't want to be your dirty pretty
Dirty pretty
Mirror mirror unleash your tongue (Dirty pretty)

Am I too old, am I too young? (Dirty pretty)
Am I worthy of thy love? (Dirty pretty)
Dirty, dirty pretty.
Dirty pretty

Mirror mirror, you're so vain (Dirty pretty)
Would you sell yourself for fame? (Dirty pretty)
Are you the vulture, or are you the dove? (Dirty pretty)
Turn it on, tune it in, let it out (repeat)

Maybe I am not all that I've learned
Close your eyes, and you twist and you turn
I know I am more than they see
I'm everything, everything is me

I won't be what you want me to be
Your picture perfect vanity
I don't want to be your dirty pretty
I won't close my eyes, like you want me to
I am wild and free, I am untamable...
I'm more than you'll ever see
More than just your dirty pretty
Maybe I am not all that I've learned
Close your eyes, and you twist and you turn
I know I am more than they see
I'm everything, everything is me
I won't be what you want me to be
Your picture perfect vanity
I don't want to be your dirty pretty
