From the recording Noirette

Lyrics

I see a girl getting older
I look at younger me and think
Someone should've told her
That "it's as cruel as it's cool, anak
Especially when you're all dolled up."
And I love to say you treated me right
While wishing my good days
Could far outweigh my bad nights
I wish I put up a fight, I do
Thought you couldn't hurt me
While I'm all dolled up for you

For me

For you
I played the balancing act
Walking across the tightrope
That overlooked your lap
Tried to hide all of the bad
Still, you would dare to hurt me
While I'm all dolled up
And I love to say you treated me right
But does a man do
What you did to me in the night?
I wish I put up a fight, I do
Thought you wouldn't hurt me
While I'm all dolled up for you

(And he got)
On me
(What he wanted)
For you
(I was gone)
For me
(So I fawn)
For you

The daughters of the sun and
The daughters of the moon
We get dolled up but we
Don't get dolled up for you

"He doesn't mean it..."
"He's just doing his best..."
These excuses, excuses...

(In a song)
For you
(Sing along)
For me
(Cause I stayed)
For you
(But I left)
For me
