lyrics

When I was a little girl
My mother took me to a party
All of the other girls had their hair up in curls
And dressed in gowns rich and gaudy

So overwhelmed was I that night
That I wandered onto the floor
Whirling and twirling, it was quite a sight
But I wanted to hurl

Nobody stopped
Nobody stopped
Nobody stopped to see
What a little girl was doing down there
Nobody stopped for me

Everyone wants to look like a lady
But nobody wants to be one
When you cross paths with some lovely lass
You don't really know if you've seen one
‘Cause underneath all of those diamonds and pearls
I'm told there hide some real demons
‘Cause everyone wants to look like a lady
But nobody wants to be one

So I climbed to the rooftop
And I surveyed the city
All of the gentlemen looking so handsome
And all of the women so pretty

Never before had I felt so alone
So I started to scream
Won't somebody break the silence
Wake from this beautiful dream

But nobody stopped
Nobody stopped
Nobody stopped to see
What a little girl was doing up there
Nobody stopped for me

Everyone wants to look like a lady
But nobody wants to be one
When you cross paths with some lovely lass
You don't really know if you've seen one
‘Cause underneath all of those diamonds and pearls
I'm told there hide some real demons
Yeah, everyone wants to look like a lady
But nobody wants to be one
