Pretty Girl

she was a pretty girl
smart, intelligent
they all loved her.
her only problem was that she was too nice
didn't know how to say NO
how to put her foot down,
allowed herself to be manipulated and used
used by others who she thought loved her the same
invested time and energy
time spent wiping up tears and trying to fix mistakes
Pretty Girl open up your eyes
if he don't love you by now he never will
what you crying for?
pack up your bags and go
love yourself
so she dropped Mr. Wrong and ran off into the sunset with the next guy
Pretty Girl found herself a catch
he was sweet, funny and made her smile
she let herself get caught up
tangled in his web of "I LOVE YOUs"
and when he kissed her gently and said those words
i mean THOSE words
she forgot who she was and lost her mind
she remembered that she was a pretty girl again
she let him slip and slide
slip and slide
slip inside
ohhh
she's just a pretty girl
but what are you really doing girl?
oh what, you said you're having a girl?
wasn't what you were expecting
cause now Pretty Girl is expecting
in a few months
tears run down her face
as she tries to understand where she went wrong
again
can't believe this is really happening
she sighs
he sighs
no one is ready for this
she's not stable
he doesn't love her
and so she cries
cause she's just a pretty girl
misunderstood
and misused



Beauty is a fragile gift.
