Daddy always thought that he married beneath him. That's what he said, that's what he said. When he proposed he informed my mother It was probably her very last chance. And though she was twenty-two, Though she was twenty-two, Though she was twenty-two, She married him. Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic More like a "Come as you are." When I was five I remember my mother Dug earrings out of the car I knew that they weren't hers, But it wasn't Something you'd wanna discuss. He wasn't warm. Well, not to her. Well, not to us But Everything was beautiful at the ballet. Graceful men lift lovely girls in white. Yes, Everything was beautiful at the ballet. Hey! I was happy... at the ballet. That's when I started ballet class... Up a steep and very narrow stairway. To the voice like a metronome. Up a steep and very narrow stairway. It wasn't paradise... It wasn't paradise... It wasn't paradise... But it was home. Mother always said I'd be very attractive When I grew up, when I grew up. "Different," she said, "With a special something And a very, very personal flair." And though I was eight or nine, Though I was eight or nine, Though I was eight or nine, I hated her. Now, "Different" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty. "Pretty" is what it's about. I never met anyone who was "different" Who couldn't figure that out. So beautiful I'd never lived to see. But it was clear, If not to her, Well, then... to me...
