Pretty EyesA Poem by Nokomi NāoHello pretty eyes I'm loving the dress you got on Are you staying here long? Are you seeing someone? Have you cottoned on I'm not sure of my disguise Have you heard them call me bent I wish they'd just say 'different' Do you think there's something wrong With me? I ain't a hitter-on Just ordinary small talk and soon I'll be gone
Hey pretty eyes What they say is all spite-lies Is what you must believe, or have I given myself away? Hey pretty eyes I know this brand of makeup that's nice I've got some on me, no it don't make me pretty But it's the only one that won't give me an allergy Ain't nothing wrong with me I'm straight and I'm forward, as you can see Or have you seen through me, have you caught on? Just ordinary girl talk and soon I'll be gone You're listening, believing what they say It's okay, got to hit the road anyway
Nice meeting you, pretty eyes I'm imagining me lifting my disguise And turns out you're different too What a lovely surprise! At first you're scared and you hold back But then you take a plunge right in And what they say can't touch us We got our own song And our only-us groove they can't break upon
Ain't nothing wrong with me Just my body don't match with me Tell me, what else should I believe?
Goodbye, pretty eyes You're not the reason I can't stay Neither are they, or the things they say I'd got to hit the road anyway
