Two Rings Shy lyrics

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town

I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

I could spend an hour on my makeup and my hair

Shoes too tall, dress too small, and lacy underwear

Go down to the bar, buy myself a drink

Dangle there all perfect like a puppet on a string

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town

I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

You got girls that sing and dance, I hear one's an acrobat

You got 'em swinging from the chandelier, well honey I don't swing like that

The main attraction's leaving, let the side show pay the rent

Take this diamond back and you'll be two rings shy of the big top tent

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town

I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

Tiptoe 'cross the tight-rope, till you turn me upside down

Cut the cable, pull the net, just to let me hit the ground

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
