She leans on my shoulder, I see a tear roll down her left eye.
She opens her perfect rosebud lips, 'Baby, I don't feel pretty no more '

Caged minds, souls that will never be set on fire
Beauty that is to be admired but never felt
You dare say you're beautiful but look at the ugly duckling in the mirror

The genius guitarist played me a tune
Fingers so swift with the strings
