32 Flavors

32Flavors -Dianne Reeves （安·瑞芙）
Squint your eyes
And look big closer
I'm not between you
And your ambition
I am a poster girl
With no poster
I am thirty two
Flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your
Peripheral vision
So you might want to
Turn your head
Because oneday you 're
Going to get hungry
And eat of
The words you just said
Both my parents taught
Me about good will
And I have done well
By their names
Just the kindness
I've lavished on strangers
Is more than I can explain
Still there's many who've
Turned out their porch lights
Just so I would think
They were not home
And hid in the dark
Of their windows
Til I'd passed and
Left them alone
So I've lavished on strangers
And look big closer
And you you're ambition
I am a poster girl
With no poster
I am thirty two
Flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your
Peripheral vision
So you might want to
Turn your head
Because oneday you're
Going to get hungry
And eat of
The words you just said
Well
And god help you if
You are an ugly girl
Course too can you joint
Is also your doom
'Cause everyone harbors
A secret hatred
For the prettiest
Girl in the room
And god help you
If you are a phoenix
And you dare to rise
Up from the ash
A thousand eyes will
Smolder with jealousy
While you are
Just flying back
So what I
Squint your eyes
And look big closer
I'm not between you
And your ambition
I am a poster girl
With no poster
I am thirty two
Flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your
Peripheral vision
So you might want to
Turn your head
Because oneday you're
Going to get hungry
And eat of
The words you just said
I'm not trying to give
My life meaning
By demeaning you
And I would like
To state for the record
I did everything
That I could do
I'm not saying that
I'm a saint
I don't want
To live that way
No I will never
Be a saint
But I will always hair me say
Squint your eyes
And look big closer
I'm not between
You and your ambition
I am a poster girl
With no poster
I am thirty two
Flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your
Peripheral vision
So you might want
To turn your head
'Cause oneday you're
Going to get hungry
And eat of
The words you just said
