Compacts lipstick a big night
Radio on, bright vanity lights
You smile, and you smile

Pick out the blue dress
That catches his attention
Slip on the pointy shoes
Hearts building up with tension
Load up the car, hit up the bars

You say you're happy, you're beautiful grin
You'll shut him down, over and over again
Forget his compliments, forget his compassion
You shut off all his subtle actions
End the night, the way you walked in
Chip on your shoulder, sipping your tonic and gin
Your barstool, the room getting vacant
But you know your heart just can't take it

Bathroom, dim lights, mascara running
Standing naked, your thoughts of him gunning for your company
Oh you would not see
You wipe away your jet black tears
Your pjs, your blankets, your pillows, your fears
And all you'll miss, is his goodnight kiss

You say you're happy, you're beautiful grin
You'll shut him down, over and over again
Forget his compliments, forget his compassion
You shut off all his subtle actions
End the night, the way you walked in
Chip on your shoulder, sipping your tonic and gin
Your barstool, the room getting vacant
But you know your heart just can't take it

You can't be beautiful forever (yet you love)
Mr. Right now, Mr. Clever
