Perfect Girls of Pop - Elizabeth Cook

Watching yourself standing at the crossroads

Look over your shoulder while the other guy reloads

It seems only human to want out

Weighing all the options when you just wanna scream

But you freak into a calm cause you gotta pick a team

And you play their way until you get to shout

All the perfect girls of pop

They bat their eyelashes a lot

And sing sweetly, they sing sweetly

Like they never been hurt before

Like they never had their heart slammed in a door

They sing sweetly, they sing sweetly

Winning and losing and everything between

Spinning in circles like a big machine

And working up a quiet inner rage

Til a rhythm and beat come in your head

And it goes right under something you said

And you wake up wondering if you are okay

All the perfect girls of pop

They bat their eyelashes a lot

And sing sweetly, they sing sweetly

Like they never been hurt before

Like they never had their heart slammed in a door

They sang sweetly, they sing sweetly

Safe and cold’s a mighty resonator

Just because I think about her don’t mean I hate her

I don’t believe her fire keeps you warm

If you think too much it’s the land of indecision

If you don’t think enough it’s the imprecision

I guess I just don’t understand the form

All the perfect girls of pop

They bat their eyelashes a lot

And sing sweetly, they sing sweetly

They sang sweetly, they sing sweetly
