lyrics

What kind of story was that?
How would I know
You'd let me sing at our wedding?
You never came to my show

I know you hate attention
even when it's on me
When I made myself smaller
You called me pretty

What kidn of story was that?
And am I worth the chase?
You made me your show-pony
But I was born for the chase.
When will I find the lesson?
Why are dates so the same?
So few men asking questions
What a trivial game.

When I was in high school, my guy friends said
That I was just 7 out of 10
But I thought that boys turned into men
Until you called me an A-
No I'm not delusional, I watch TV
and I know I don't have that kind of body
But I thought when you looked at me
You saw more than an A-

Labels are so boring
Slut or saint or sweet so ordinary
Reducing our magic bodies to a number, yawn
Hey, Mister Nice Guy
With the big words, I know when you use them wrong
I didn't say it 'cause you liked me quiet
So I'm gone

When I was in high school, my guy friends said
That I was just 7 out of 10
But I thought that boys turned into men
Until you called me an A-
No I'm not delusional, I watch TV
and I know I don't have that kind of body
But I thought when you looked at me
You saw more than an A-

In the future, there's a cabin on the sea
In the garden there's a girl who looks like me
And she writes songs, she eats cookies
And she has a man, treats her with kindness
In the future there's horses and spells
There's soup on the stove and stories to tell
And her daughters collect seaglass and shells
And they'll never hear the words A-
