Verse:
F#
She was acting pretty  thought she owned the city

Someone should have told her pretty ain't a job
F#
And now she begs for money  no one calls her honey

As she bothers shoppers in the parking lot

Gets her karma with a catch

Forgets superstition by wearing it backwards

Lives under ladders and sleeps with black cats

They just stay the same way

Verse:
F#
I swear this like a sailor  love is not a favour

I find it's just a concept that we live inside

My hand’s all caught in stones
