i'm really the kind

i'm really the kind to dazzle and twirl

have tantrums like silver slanting rain

walk up to strangers

parade with my pride

and stride like a lion up

a mad mountainside

so steep

so lovely

don't think about the fall

then suddenly

no warning

no nothing

i`m small

i'm small

smaller than anyone

smaller than you

you see

i'm really the kind

to cower in the corner

and pray that some guy

will have a kind word to say

then be tiny in his arms

and be stroked to my heart

and coaxed and caressed

and combed and undressed

then finally i'll trust him

abandon it all

then suddenly

no warning

no nothing

i`m too tall

i'm tall

taller than anyone

taller than boys

i'm tall

taller than anyone

taller than you

the pendulum swings both ways

and i lose my equilibrium

i swing so fast inside it's motion

that i become the hum

i become the hum

you see i'm really the kind

to walk the avenues

and criticize the mannequins

and ogle the jewels

justify spending the cash

i don't have

break resolutions

with a naughty little laugh

i'm nothing unless

i'm the belle of the ball

and then suddenly

no warning

no nothing

i've got it all

i see it all

i have it all

i have it all

it is

it is

it is

it is

it is

my soul

my soul
