Prettier Girls

from Volume II by The Magnificent Electric

	/

lyrics

I see prettier girls than you
But I don't want them, no I don't want them
Sometimes they put their numbers in my phone
But I don't call them, no

It's been so long
You're like a new friend who I've known for years
And I'm finally on my way up
You were out of my league then, but not anymore

And I wonder could this be
Just another fantasy
Dreamed up to get me through the day
No need to rain on my own parade
'Cause I'll know soon enough if you feel the same

I see prettier girls than you
But I don't want them, no I don't want them
Sometimes they put their numbers in my phone
But I don't call them, no

I got a real kind of crush on you
I'm tired of drooling at the centerfold in my room
I'm done with perfect, your best will do
I see your strength and your beauty and the blemishes too

And I wonder could this be
Just another fantasy
Dreamed up to get me through the day
No need to rain on my own parade
'Cause I'll know soon enough if you feel the same

I see prettier girls than you
But I don't want them, no I don't want them
Sometimes they put their numbers in my phone
But I don't call them, no

I see prettier girls than you
But I don't want them
I see prettier girls than you
Sometimes they put their numbers in my phone
But I don't call them, no
