Butterfly in Reverse
Mary-AnnYou’re better than the worldThey took a lot of timeGetting it right on this girlI said, Mary-AnnYou’re better than the worldThey did a lot of things right on this girl
Had a lot of girlfriendsI should have known themClick your heels and count back from threeDo you want to go back?You should have knownThat the butterfly in reverse here is me
Mary-AnnYou’re better than the worldThey took a lot of timeGetting it right on this girlI said, Mary-AnnYou’re better than the worldThey did a lot of things right on this girl
Where’d you want to go toWith nothing beside youBut webbing and curfews and rain?And everything that hurts youIs locked up inside youLike butterflies with wingsAnd other perfect things
We go swimming in the sunshineDangling from clotheslinesSeparate and fall into meBut did you ever see me ?Me, absolutely ?Me, but all you, but still me?
Mary-Ann you’re better than the worldThey took a lot of timeGetting it right on this girl, I saidMaryannYou’re better than the worldThey did a lot of things right on this girl
