"I don't mean to be bad," said the bubble headed blonde,
   and it was probably true.
   "But what else can you do when looks are all people notice
   and looks are all that they want, too."
   
   And now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
   Now she lies beneath his silver satin
   wings Cause she was never raised to know any better
   because he is the best thing she has ever seen
   
   And Papa said she's too cute for words
   So she never learned how to speak
   And mama said she don't need to read
   just a hot mercedes and a decent man that won't (spring a leak)?
   So now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
   Now she lies beneath his silver satin wings
   Cause she was never raised to know any better
   because he is the best thing she has ever seen
      
   In school all she learned that talk is cheap
   but looks they come for free
   They said "Hey, why try and think girl, if you can smile
   and get anything you need?"
   
   So now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
   Now she lies beneath his silver satin wings
   Cause she was never raised to know any better
   because he is the best thing she has ever seen
   
   She said "Sometimes there's this fear inside
   that cannot sleep at night, though he is sleeping fine
   And I used to like the way he talked
   before I knew promises were just other words for 'goodbye'."
   
   See now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying
   As she lies beneath his silver satin wings
   Cause she was never raised to know any better
   because he is the best thing she
   He is the best thing she will ever see.
