"Two Rings Shy" lyrics - BRANDY CLARK

I ain't gonna get dressed up just to be your clown
Ain't gonna paint this pretty face like you paint the town
I ain't wastin' good mascara just to watch it runnin' down
You know, I ain't gonna get dressed up just to be your clown

I could spend an hour on my makeup and my hair
Shoes too tall, dress too small and lacy underwear
Go down to the bar; buy myself a drink
Dangle there all perfect, like a puppet on a string

But I ain't gonna get dressed up just to be your clown
Ain't gonna paint this pretty face like you paint the town
I ain't wastin' good mascara just to watch it runnin' down
You know, I ain't gonna get dressed up just to be your clown

You got girls that swing and dance, I hear one's an acrobat
You got 'em swinging from the chandeliers, well, honey, I don't swing like that
The main attraction's leavin', let the sideshow pay the rent
Take this diamond back and you'll be two rings shy of a big top tent

And I ain't gonna get dressed up just to be your clown
Ain't gonna paint this pretty face like you paint the town
I ain't wastin' good mascara just to watch it runnin' down
You know, I ain't gonna get dressed up just to be your clown

I ain't gonna get dressed up just to be your clown
Tiptoe 'cross the tightrope, 'til you turn me upside down
Pull the cable, cut the nets, just to watch me hit the ground
You know, I ain't gonna get dressed up just to be your clown
Yeah, I ain't gonna get dressed up just to be your clown
