The Lament of Pretty Baby Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I saw something I was not supposed to see
A ghostly memory that keeps on haunting me
The kitchen door was open a crack
So naively, we peeked inside

[Chorus]
Oh, darling sister, have they hurt you?
Have they hurt you? Uh-huh
Oh, Pretty Baby, they won't touch you
They won't touch you again
We will fix this incident

[Verse 2]
I don't want to be seen as a pretty thing
'Cause it's the pretty things
That we're always breaking
And now she whispers into the mirror, "I'm broken"

[Chorus]
Oh doctor, doctor, can you fix me?
Can you fix me? Uh-huh
Oh Pretty Baby, you're so naive
But it comes off so cute
We don't want to fix you

[Bridge]
We love you just the way you are
The butterfly pinned to the page
The nightingale locked in the cage
Won't you sing for me?
Sing for me, uh-huh
Yeah, we love you just the way you are
Crushed 'neath fashion magazines
Trampled by circus pony dreams
Won't you kiss me?
Won't you kiss me? Uh-huh

[Chorus]
Oh please, mister, can't you fix me?
Can't you fix me? Uh-huh
Someone, anyone, won't you fix me?
Won't you fix me? Uh-huh
Oh, someone, please, the moon has raped me
I can feel it inside me
Oh, Mama, please let someone fix me!
Let them fix me, uh-huh
Let them fix me, uh-huh

[Outro]
So cry yourself to sleep
Cry yourself to sleep
I am strong, and you are weak
Wait, you are strong, and I am weak
Fuck, just cry yourself to sleep, uh-huh
