Dirty Pretty Lyrics by In This Moment

Black Widow

2014

[Intro]
(Radio tuning to Maria Brink)
You don’t know how hard it is being a woman, how will I ever live up to your expectations, of pretty?
[Verse 1]
(Dirty pretty)
Mirror, mirror on the wall
(Dirty pretty)
Who’s the fairest of them all?
(Dirty pretty)
Tell me I’m the perfect queen
(Dirty pretty, dirty dirty pretty, dirty pretty)
Mirror, mirror in my hand
(Dirty pretty)
Who’s the fairest in the land?
(Dirty pretty)
Are they lining up for me?
(Dirty pretty, dirty dirty pretty)
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn it on, tune it in, let it out
[Chorus]
(Turn it on, tune it in)
Maybe I am not all that I’ve learned
(Turn it on, tune it in)
Close your eyes, you twist and you turn
(Turn it on, tune it in)
I know I am more than they say
(Turn it on, tune it in, ah ah, let it out, turn it on)
I’m everything, everything is me
(Turn it on)
I won’t be what you want me to be
(Turn it on, tune it in)
Your picture-perfect vanity
(Turn it on)
I don’t want to be your dirty pretty
(Turn it on, tune it in) Let it out
(Turn it on, tune it in) Let it out
[Verse 2]
(Dirty pretty)
Mirror, mirror unleash your tongue
(Dirty pretty)
Am I too old, am I too young?
(Dirty pretty)
I am worthy of thy love?
(Dirty pretty, dirty dirty pretty, dirty pretty)
Mirror, mirror you’re so vain
(Dirty pretty)
Would you sell yourself for fame?
(Dirty pretty)
Are you the vulture or are you the dove?
(Dirty pretty, dirty dirty pretty)
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn it on, tune it in, let it out
[Chorus]
(Turn it on, tune it in)
Maybe I am not all that I’ve learned
(Turn it on, tune it in)
Close your eyes, you twist and you turn
(Turn it on, tune it in)
I know I am more than they say
(Turn it on, tune it in, ah ah, let it out, turn it on)
I’m everything, everything is me
(Turn it on)
I won’t be what you want me to be
(Turn it on, tune it in)
Your picture-perfect vanity
(Turn it on)
I don’t want to be your dirty pretty
(Turn it on, tune it in) Let it out
(Turn it on, tune it in) Let it out
[Bridge]
I won’t close my eyes like you want me too
I’m wild and free, I am untamable, I’m more than you’ll ever see
More than just your dirty pretty
(Turn it on, tune it in, ah ah, let it out)
[Chorus]
Maybe I am not all that I've learned
Close your eyes, you twist and you turn
I know I am more than they say
(Turn it on)
I’m everything, everything is me
(Turn it on)
I won't be what you want me to be
(Turn it on, tune it in)
Your picture-perfect vanity
(Turn it on)
I don’t want to be your dirty pretty
(Turn it on, tune it in) Let it out
(Turn it on, tune it in) Let it out
