Perfect Young Lady

Today I'm dressed all in white Make up done, curls are fixed Today is supposed to be The happiest day of my life Bells are ringing, guests are waiting The church is filled with strangers Checking their watches, where's the food? Costumes ironed, script known by heart I see your mask, a clever piece of art What if I ran away and let them wait forever What if I didn't play a well behave character As soon as I'll leave the room I'll pretend to be a perfect young lady The perfect young lady that isn't me As soon as I'll leave the room I'll pretend to be a perfect young lady The perfect young lady that isn't me Chugging gin, a forbidden cig From the mirror, my reflection says "You'll soon be a Madame" Who would have thought? Pearls could replace my leather and my spikes What if I ran away to start a brand new chapter What if I didn't play I know I'll never be the main character As soon as I'll leave the room I'll pretend to be a perfect young lady The perfect young lady that isn't me As soon as I'll leave the room I'll pretend to be a perfect young lady The perfect young lady that isn't me My daddy's calling me From the other side of the door The proud stage director Is about to open the curtains It's time, show must go on And if I were to break the rules I will never be the perfect young lady The perfect young lady that isn't me If I choose not to join the groom I will never be the perfect young lady The perfect young lady that isn't me
