Pretty As A Picture

Pretty as a picture, smiling sweetly
But, I'm just wasting time, wasting trust
Spinning my wheels, in a world of mud
Dizzy on wine that I didn't even drink
So, if I tripped or jumped--I really don't know
But, I have fallen into your arms, again...
You've been out of touch, you know that's true
And I'm tired of trying so hard, for so long
I'm tired of being the only one who gives a damn
So, it's your turn now, so give me your best
Instead of these table scraps I've been getting
'Cause I'm nobody's second best, nobody's stand-in
And it's all or nothing, now, baby doll
You've got to lay all your cards on the table, this time
I want to know what you're hiding, behind your eyes
You've got to take a risk, take a chance, on me, on us
Don't hold back, anymore--
'Cause I'm so bored, just sitting here,spinning my wheels
Pretty as a picture, smiling sweetly
