Honey, I've gotten real good at pretending
And keeping the ugly inside
Learned to laugh at the jokes, and to trail behind
Because a woman is better when she's a beautiful lie
As a kid I was all freckles and anger
And I guess that I still kind of am
But guts and ambition come second to sex
Because a woman is better when she's a beautiful mess
Ten long years of frowns in the mirror and tears in my sheets
Ten long years of squirming in dresses they wanted to see
So long, so long, so long
If I have a daughter someday
I hope that she's stronger than me
And I hope that her heart doesn't harden like mine
Because a woman is better when she learns to be kind
So long, so long, so long
