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


Grab 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 she'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

No, you can't be beautiful forever (yet you love)

Mr. right now, mr. clever
