Ani Difranco - Fixing Her Hair Lyrics
Shes looking in the mirrorShes fixing her hairAnd I touch my head to feelWhat isnt thereShes humming a melodyWe learned in grade schoolShes so happyAnd I thinkThis is not coolcause I know the guyShes been talking aboutI have met him beforeAnd I thinkWhat is this beautiful beautiful womanSettling for?She bends her breathWhen she talks to himI can see her features begin to blurAs she pours herselfInto the mold he made for herAnd for everything he doesShe has a way to rationalizeShe says he dont mean what he doShe tells me he calledTo apologizeHe says he loves herHe says hes changingAnd he can keep her warmAnd so she sits there like americaSuffering through slow reformBut shell never get back the timeAnd the years sneak byOne by oneShe is still playing the martyrI am still praying for revloutionAnd she still doesnt have what she deservesBut she wakes up smiling every dayShe never really expected moreThats just not the way we are raisedAnd I say to her,You know,Theres plenty of really great men out thereBut she doesnt hear meShes looking in the mirrorShes fixing her hair
