If you're not a Beauty Queen then you'll probably understand what I mean...
lyrics
Beauty Queen
Give me a reason,
Give me just one reason,
To la la la la la la la la la love you
Give me a reason,
Give me just one reason,
To la la la la la la la la la love you
I know I’m not
A Beauty Queen
Not one for those Magazines,
But it’s alright,
It’s OK.
There’s more to this girl
I’m not your Barbie Doll,
You’re not my Ken,
Not some great Prince among men.
Cause I won’t let you be,
Cause I’m not ready,
Ain’t done kissing frogs
Out looking sexy in your leotard
All boys staring,
They’re so hard
D’ya Feel better than that girl in a sweater? Yeah?
Just tell me that?
Give me a reason,
Give me just one reason,
To la la la la la la la la la love you
Give me a reason,
Give me just one reason,
To la la la la la la la la la love you
I know I’m not
A Beauty Queen
Not one for those Magazines
But it’s alright,
It’s OK.
There’s more to this girl
I’m not a bra-burner,
Nor do I hate men,
But I like strong women, women,
To be strong women, women and men strong men!
We made love between the screams and shouts,
It wasn’t great and you stressed me out,
But our love you see, hot in its infancy,
Point blank,
We left it there.
Your girl and I we’re not friends,
She’s a Beauty Queen, a teenage dream,
A trophy among men,
We’re chalk and cheese and.
I can’t breathe it’s me,
Y ou want…again.
Give me a reason,
Give me just one reason,
To la la la la la la la la la love you
Give me a reason,
Give me just one reason,
To la la la la la la la la la love you
I know I’m not
A Beauty Queen
Not one for those Magazines
But it’s alright,
It’s OK.
There’s more to this girl
I know I’m not
A Beauty Queen
Not one for those Magazines
But it’s alright,
It’s OK.
There’s more to this girl
Give me one reason,
Give me just one reason,
To la la la la la la la la la love you
Give me one reason,
Give me just one reason,
To la la la la la la la la la love you
