| [00:05.36] |
Daddy always thought that he married beneath him |
| [00:07.78] |
That's what he said that's what he said |
| [00:10.15] |
When he proposed he informed my mother |
| [00:12.78] |
He was probably her very last chance |
| [00:16.59] |
And though she was twenty-two |
| [00:19.22] |
Though she was twenty-two |
| [00:21.57] |
Though she was twenty-two |
| [00:25.18] |
|
| [00:26.84] |
She married him |
| [00:29.95] |
|
| [00:31.10] |
Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic |
| [00:33.50] |
More like a "Come as you are " |
| [00:36.04] |
When I was five I remember my mother |
| [00:38.47] |
Dug earrings out of the car |
| [00:41.05] |
I knew they weren't hers But it wasn't |
| [00:43.64] |
Something you'd want to discuss |
| [00:46.62] |
He wasn't warm |
| [00:48.17] |
|
| [00:49.92] |
Well not to her |
| [00:51.14] |
|
| [00:52.62] |
Well not to us |
| [00:54.45] |
|
| [00:57.71] |
But everything was beautiful at the ballet |
| [01:04.34] |
|
| [01:04.95] |
Graceful men lift lovely girls in white |
| [01:10.70] |
|
| [01:11.40] |
Yes everything was beautiful at ballet |
| [01:19.24] |
Hey |
| [01:19.51] |
I was happy at the ballet |
| [01:23.86] |
|
| [01:28.34] |
Up a steep and very narrow stairway |
| [01:31.93] |
To the voice like a metronome |
| [01:33.86] |
|
| [01:36.31] |
Up a steep and very narrow stairway |
| [01:39.10] |
It wasn't paradise |
| [01:40.96] |
It wasn't paradise |
| [01:42.71] |
It wasn't paradise |
| [01:45.35] |
But it was home |
| [01:48.40] |
|
| [01:49.62] |
Mother always said I'd be very attractive |
| [01:52.08] |
When I grew up when I grew up |
| [01:54.21] |
"Diff'rent " she said "With a special something |
| [01:56.94] |
And a very very personal flair " |
| [02:00.98] |
And though I was eight or nine |
| [02:02.85] |
Though I was eight or nine |
| [02:04.95] |
Though I was eight or nine |
| [02:07.98] |
|
| [02:09.69] |
I hated her |
| [02:12.85] |
Now "Diff'rent" is nice but it sure isn't pretty |
| [02:16.27] |
"Pretty" is what it's about |
| [02:18.64] |
I never met anyone who was "diff'rent" |
| [02:21.10] |
Who couldn't figure that out |
| [02:23.54] |
So beautiful I'd never lived to see |
| [02:29.41] |
|
| [02:30.13] |
But it was clear |
| [02:32.52] |
If not to her |
| [02:35.31] |
Well then to me |
| [02:36.77] |
|
| [02:38.53] |
That everyone is beautiful at the ballet |
| [02:44.98] |
|
| [02:45.88] |
Every prince has got to have his swan |
| [02:51.03] |
|
| [02:51.82] |
Yes everyone is beautiful at the ballet |
| [02:58.15] |
Hey |
| [02:59.81] |
I was pretty |
| [03:02.30] |
At the ballet |
| [03:05.77] |
|
| [03:08.82] |
I mean I was born to save their marriage |
| [03:11.82] |
But when my father came to pick my mother up |
| [03:14.70] |
At the hospital |
| [03:15.88] |
He said "Well I thought this was going to help |
| [03:19.23] |
But I guess it's not " |
| [03:22.04] |
|
| [03:22.68] |
A few months later he left |
| [03:25.37] |
And he never came back |
| [03:26.83] |
|
| [03:27.69] |
Anyway I did have a fantastic fantasy life |
| [03:32.91] |
I used to dance around the living room |
| [03:34.78] |
With my arms up like this |
| [03:37.33] |
My fantasy was that I was an Indian Chief |
| [03:42.25] |
And he'd say to me |
| [03:44.41] |
"Izzie do you wanna dance " |
| [03:47.82] |
And I'd say "Daddy I would love to dance " |
| [03:54.35] |
Doo-doo-doo-doo |
| [03:55.79] |
But it was clear |
| [03:56.80] |
Doo-doo-doo |
| [03:57.60] |
When he proposed |
| [03:58.58] |
Doo-doo-doo |
| [03:59.14] |
That I was born to help their marriage and when |
| [04:03.35] |
Doo-doo-doo-doo |
| [04:03.94] |
That's what he said |
| [04:04.86] |
Doo-doo-doo |
| [04:05.30] |
That's what she said |
| [04:06.21] |
Doo-doo-doo |
| [04:06.59] |
I used to dance around the living room |
| [04:09.94] |
Doo-doo-doo-doo |
| [04:10.88] |
He wasn't warm |
| [04:11.87] |
Doo-doo-doo |
| [04:12.12] |
Not to her |
| [04:13.55] |
|
| [04:14.78] |
It was an Indian chief and he'd say: |
| [04:17.98] |
"Izzie do you wanna dance " |
| [04:21.02] |
And I'd say "Daddy I would love to " |
| [04:25.98] |
Everything was beautiful at the ballet |
| [04:32.00] |
|
| [04:32.56] |
Raise your arms and someone's always there |
| [04:37.96] |
|
| [04:39.07] |
Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet |
| [04:44.80] |
|
| [04:45.53] |
At the ballet |
| [04:47.80] |
|
| [04:48.82] |
At the ballet |
| [04:59.48] |
|
| [05:05.18] |
Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet |
| [05:11.29] |
|
| [05:13.01] |
I was pretty |
| [05:15.43] |
I was happy |
| [05:17.72] |
"I would love to " |
| [05:20.49] |
At the ballet |
