Twirl

[Verse 1] Secretly I want everyone to think I am cool I decided long ago that’s what I have to be I don’t like the colour black and I say too many things And I think that those two things alone disqualify me [Chorus] So I buy a pretty dress And I twirl around in it And I try to forget about my stomach And I go up to Corinne And I ask them for a kiss And I ask them all the questions I should really ask myself Don’t I look so pretty? [Verse 2] Youngest of the family, always the butt of the joke Whitney swears they were laughing with me How was I supposed to know Today I’m ten years old, it’s the morning of my birthday Crying, “Mom, what if no-one shows?” [Chorus] So I buy a pretty dress And I twirl around in it And I try to forget about my stomach And I go up to my friends And I thank them for the gift In my head I thank them for remembering that I exist Oh, won’t you come to my party? Don’t I look so pretty?
