the demise of pretty little girls

I'm pretty to look at, that's how we started and that's how we'll persist

a few decades down the road, you'll want me to be prettier to look at 

inside your home, with our kids

and you'll realise they've become prettier to look at 

September's hot, sweat, heat, sticky

I'm 21, the prettiest age to look at

and you're throwing it all away

and in 15 years

when I'm old and fat in the tummy from bearing your kids

you'll find girls at 21

because they'll be prettier to look at

and I'll call my mom and she'd tell me to sew my lips.
