32 Flavors

32Flavors -Dianne Reeves （安·瑞芙）

Squint your eyes

And look big closer

I'm not between you

And your ambition

I am a poster girl

With no poster

I am thirty two

Flavors and then some

And I'm beyond your

Peripheral vision

So you might want to

Turn your head

Because oneday you're

Going to get hungry

And eat of

The words you just said

Both my parents taught

Me about good will

And I have done well

By their names

Just the kindness

I've lavished on strangers

Is more than I can explain

Still there's many who've

Turned out their porch lights

Just so I would think

They were not home

And hid in the dark

Of their windows

Til I'd passed and

Left them alone

So I've lavished on strangers

And look big closer

And you you're ambition

I am a poster girl

With no poster

I am thirty two

Flavors and then some

And I'm beyond your

Peripheral vision

So you might want to

Turn your head

Because oneday you're

Going to get hungry

And eat of

The words you just said

Well

And god help you if

You are an ugly girl

Course too can you joint

Is also your doom

'Cause everyone harbors

A secret hatred

For the prettiest

Girl in the room

And god help you

If you are a phoenix

And you dare to rise

Up from the ash

A thousand eyes will

Smolder with jealousy

While you are

Just flying back

So what I

Squint your eyes

And look big closer

I'm not between you

And your ambition

I am a poster girl

With no poster

I am thirty two

Flavors and then some

And I'm beyond your

Peripheral vision

So you might want to

Turn your head

Because oneday you're

Going to get hungry

And eat of

The words you just said

I'm not trying to give

My life meaning

By demeaning you

And I would like

To state for the record

I did everything

That I could do

I'm not saying that

I'm a saint

I don't want

To live that way

No I will never

Be a saint

But I will always hair me say

Squint your eyes

And look big closer

I'm not between

You and your ambition

I am a poster girl

With no poster

I am thirty two

Flavors and then some

And I'm beyond your

Peripheral vision

So you might want

To turn your head

'Cause oneday you're

Going to get hungry

And eat of

The words you just said
