Dirty Pretty Songtext / Lyric

"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
