lyrics

Kissing my lower arm for practice
I don’t want to arrive so unprepared
Polishing my glasses
Waiting for my contact lenses to arrive by mail

But...
I’ll be pretty tomorrow
Or maybe next week
Or maybe the year when I’m 17
I’ll be pretty in jeans
I’ll be pretty

Brushing my hair, I might need a haircut
And I’m tying my boots so perfectly
Walking along, the party draws closer
And suddenly I am there

But...
I’ll be pretty tomorrow
Or maybe next week
Or maybe the year when I’m 17
I’ll be pretty in jeans
I’ll be pretty
I’ll be dancing tomorrow
Or maybe next week

Or maybe the year when I’m 17
I’ll be dancing in jeans
I’ll be dancing
I’ll be singing tomorrow
Or maybe next week
Or maybe the year when I’m 17
I’ll be singing in jeans
I’ll be singing
I’ll be pretty tomorrow
Or maybe next week
Or maybe the year when I’m 17
I’ll be pretty in jeans
I’ll be pretty
