Lyrics

I never was the pretty girl.
I never was the beautiful one.
I never was the kind of girl
Who walks into a room
And turns the boys heads

I never was the lucky girl
Flying high with a life of full of fun
Overlooked for the other girls
Just sitting in my room
And writing songs instead.

You never took the time to know me
You never gave me the time of day
And now you want me to change my mind
Hell no. Fat chance. No way.

I recognize your kind. You can't snow me.
Out for fun on a fair weather day
And there's no way you can change my mind
Hell no. Nice try. Fat chance. Fuck off.
No way.

I always was the funny girl.
Mixing laughter with sorrow and pain.
But I laughed my way on top of the world
And made a life so full that
It can't be contained

And now I know I'm the lucky girl
With very few things in life I would change
I'm still not skinny or tall or alluring
But life with me I guarantee
Will never be boring

You never took the time to know me
You never gave me the time of day
And now you want me to change my mind
Hell no. Fat chance.
No way.

So stop wasting your time. Don't show me.
There's not a damn thing that you could say
Or a thing that would change my mind
Hell no. Nice try. Fat chance. Fuck off.
No way.

You walk into the room
And right away you pass me by
Looking for that someone
Who helps your stupid social climb
Then someone whispers in your ear
And mentions my success
And suddenly it hits you that it's time to reassess

Well you're stupid mess
To think that I'd address
Any interest on your part
No I won't acquiesce 'cause

You never took the time to know me
You never gave me the time of day
And now you want me to change my mind
Hell no. Fat chance.
No way.

So stop wasting your time. Don't show me.
There's not a damn thing that you could say
Or a thing that would change my mind
Hell no. Nice try. Fat chance. Fuck off.
No way.
