like me

somebody used the word pretty
and she looked down
and she just let it slide down so far
into dark into dust 
in 5 minutes she had quite forgotten
she's like me and you don't see it
you see you see the effects
you see the results
and it's true if you asked
she'd agree with you
but see babe
i think i'm beautiful
not cause you said it but cause i think it
and she doesn't really hear
when you say she's gorgeous
cause you may say it but she still
doesn't think it
and no 
it doesn't matter that she's wrong
she's like me
someday she'll see
