about

Recorded/Mixed by Eric Arm at Headroom Audio, West Hollywood, CA

lyrics

You’re not gonna be pretty
You don’t photograph well
Just wanted to get that out of the way
You’re not gonna be normal
No chance in hell
Just wanted to save you from that hope

And it would be so great if you could be LIKE ME
Yeah, it would be so great, for me
it would be so great if you could LIKE ME
If you could be LIKE ME
If you could LIKE ME

You’re always gonna be lonely
‘cause of what of he did
But you’ll always know who gets the blame
You’re not gonna be normal
You’re gonna be a lonely, ugly kid
And when you turn 18, you can change your name

CHORUS

But you’re okay in this picture
you don’t look too much like him
Except when you smile, or play music
You’re not gonna be pretty

But you’re gonna be sexy
And that’s a useful thing to be
Men will like that better in the end
Yeah, you’re gonna be sexy
Look what it did for me
Women may not want to be your friend

CHORUS
