32 Flavors


Squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you are gonna get hungry
And eat most of the words you just said

Both my parents taught me about good will
And I have done well by their names
Just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
Is more than I can explain
Still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
Just so I would think they were not home
And hid in the dark of their windows
'Til I'd passed and left them alone

God help you if you are an ugly girl
Course too pretty is also your doom
Cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
For the prettiest girl in the room
And god help you if you are a phoenix
And you dare to rise up from the ash
A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
While you are just flying past

And I'll never try to give my life meaning
By demeaning you
And I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I am a saint
I just don't want to live that way
No, I will never be a saint
But I will always say

Squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you are starving
And eating all of the words that you said

I’ve bеen browѕing onlіne moгe thаn six hrs today,
and after notіcing уou on http://mуgreenԁaгling.

blοgѕρot.сοm/, І definitely haven't encountered any enjoyable posts like yours. In my opinion, if all web site developers and blog writers created great content as you have, the internet will be a lot more helpful than at any time before.

Hey there, I found your site blogger.com while browsing http://mygreendarling.
blogspot.com/. Have you ever thought about incorporating a little bit
more than simply text in your articles? Don't get me wrong, your writing is excellent. However think about if you added some quality images or video clips to give your posts some more "pizzazz"". Your content is superior, however if you were to apply more various media, this site could definitely be among the best in its category compared to other sites on .
