Lyrics
Not Her
Confidence is fragile
Reputation a concern
No one likes to look the fool
But sometimes it?s just your turn
You can back into a corner
Hide away and let time pass
Hope no one remembers
Try to keep a touch of class
Not her
Not her
This is not her finest hour
She?s at a low you know
Mistakes have come to haunt her
Wear and tear starting to show
Always on the edge of danger
Like she didn't think things through,
You'd think she would be reluctant
To reopen these old wounds
Not her
Not her
Chorus:
A lady of plain language
A dance, a cotton dress
Hard for her to be here
But she?s here nonetheless
Shoes in hand she dances
Eyes closed, arms spread out wide
A scar below her shoulder
Nothing left to hide
If art was mindless color
If music all the same
Where would be our interest
What would be the gain
All eyes are still upon her
Draws attention in a crowd
There?s just something about her
Not afraid to laugh out loud
Not her
[Chorus]
