The Ugliest Duckling

What does she have, sir?
Pretty hair, prettier eyes, perfect skin;
What does she have that I don't?
Isn't beauty on the inside
Or am I still living in my fantasies?
I know she's so much smarter
And that she's prettier, too
But have you ever thought
That the tangibles won't do?

I want someone who doesn't care
That my hair is plain,
That my eyes are faded,
That my skin is freckled
Or my mind is unjaded
To you I'm just an ugly duckling
But I'm someone else's swan

I see you two holding hands
Daring to oppose rules set for you
It disgusts me; it really does
I had a higher respect for you
But now there's nothing you can do
To bring it back again
Or to win my forsaken trust
Too bad, so sad,
Just don't do anything stupid

I want someone who loves me
Not for the way I am
Not for the girl I'm not
But for the woman I'll be
And the chance that you forgot
He's waiting for me somewhere
But I'm hoping it's not you
Because breaking rules and being bold
Isn't worth being with you

He'll be okay with going slow
He'll wait until I'm certain
That I'm ready to be his
And for the opprotune times
He doesn't have to be psychic
I don't expect him to
I only want a level-headed man
Who's smarter than you've shown to be
