Don't let me stand on your shoulders.
I've got two left feet but I can do pirouettes around you
And your financial stability, home and office job.

I'm only 5'2 but there's altitude in my ambitions
Far as it may be, I want what you have and more.
I went from auburn to Hepburn, my clubbing nights are scarce but each piano in London knows me

Like a young woman knows the fun and the hard work to be had in life.
It's simpler than you make me out to be
Mice aren't stupid and nice isn't polluted
I just like gentleness.

I don't like being talked down to by broader shoulders.
From feet on the right way to security when I can do orbits of verve's and souvenirs
I am a clammed Pearl, true blue
I am a woman just like you.
Abby
