Another Pretty Face

Stop right there
this is getting so unfair.
You’ve got to let me catch me breath
while I try not to stutter and try not to stare.
Ooh boy, get out
before you make me scream and shout
cause I know by now, no way no how,
beyond a shadow of a doubt that
Oh I’m never gonna get to you
and there’s nothing I can do
You’re just another pretty face
just another sad case of the
shivers and the jitters and the
heartbeat race
and you’ve got your woman and I know my place
so what they gotta give you such a
damn pretty face?
VERSE 2
Now I swear it was not my plan
to want another woman’s man,
but my heart made up it’s mind
it was gonna become your numner one fan.
My love is so white hot
it would burn down everything that she’s got
but you want her, and I’m just a blur.
What does she do that I do not?
Oh yeah, my pain is the price I pay.
Maybe I like it, maybe I like it this way.
I’d hijack a limousine
I’d make a new flying machine
I’d jump from a speeding train
dressing in high heels and cellophane
I’d rescue you on a milk-white steed
I’d learn to be all the things you need
I’d up the anti, I’d cross the line,
You got to me mine
You got to me mine
You got to me mine
You got to me mine
Oh but I’m never gonna get to you
And my heart is turning so black and blue.
Is there nothing
Is there nothing I can do?
You’re just another pretty face
just another sad case of the
shivers and the jitters and the
heartbeat race
and you’ve got your woman and I know my place
so what they gotta give you such a
damn pretty face?
You’re just another pretty face
You’re just another pretty face
You’re just another pretty face
You’re just another pretty face
just another sad case of the
shivers and the jitters and the
heartbeat race
and you’ve got your woman and I know my place
so what they gotta give you such a
damn pretty

How did you get here?
By land or by sea?
By want or need or serendipity?
How did you get here?
What gave you the gall
to steal land and people and not care at all?
But you’re here and so am I
And no one can tell us the reasons why
Cause we are not special or holy or high
And I don’t know where we’d be
If the gates hadn’t opened for you and me.
How did we get here?
Locks on the doors
What’s mine is mine
There ain’t enough for yours.
How did we get here?
Deaf dumb and blind
Pretending those people aren’t humankind.
But I’m here and so are you
And it’s plain and simple what we oughta do
Cause we were just lucky
And they are just new
And I don’t know where we’d be
If the gates hadn’t opened for you and me.
How did I get here?
On the back of a dream
On dirt and despair and ocean liner steam
How did I get here?
With a helping hand
From strangers and saviors who understand
That we’re here and so are they
And where there’s a will
There’s always a way
Cause once we were all just where they are today
On our knees at the Golden Door
Built on labor and land that was never paid for
Tell me where would we be
O Land of the Free
If the gates hadn’t opened for you and me?
