She's a beauty queen
My sweet beanbag in the street
Take it
Down out to the laundry scene
Don't know why she's in my hand
Can't figure what it is but
I lie again

(Ferry)

Valerie please believe
It never could work out
The time to make plans
Has passed, faded away
Oooh the way you look
Makes my starry eyes shiver
Then I look away
Too much for one day
One thing we share
Is an ideal of beauty
Treasure so rare
That even devils might care
Your swimming-pool eyes
In sea breezes they flutter
The coconut tears
Heavy-lidded they shed
Swaying palms at your feet
You're the pride of your street
While you worship the sun
Summer lover of fun
Gold number with neighbours
Who said that you'll go far
Maybe someday be a star
A fast mover like you
And your dreams will all come true

All of my hope, and my inspiration
I drew from you
Our life's pattern's drawn in sand
But the winds could not erase
The memory of your face
Deep in the night
Plying very strange cargo
Our soul-ships pass by
Solo trips to the stars - in the sky
Gliding so far
That the eye cannot follow
Where do they go
We'll never know

When your love turns around
stares you right in the face
and you lay on the ground
wander off into space
they laugh at your back
they take what they see
but you are good enough for me, alright

So you ran to the moon
and you left us behind
was that all just too cruel
or we're just too unkind

I hope you remember
I hope you are clear
that you were good enough for me
yeah you were good enough for me

You're learning how to fly away
my beauty queen from yesterday
and how's it felt to fall from grace
coz I never had the chance to say
that you were good enough, good enough for me

If I can go back to the place
There would be time I must understood
even though it's complicated
I can seem to overstate it, I think finally

and The moment you go
would you kiss me good bye
Wherever you go
I hope you believe
that you were good enough for me
yeah you were good enough for me

I guess I wasn't very strong
I should've told you I was wrong
and i wish i had a second chance
coz I really need to understand

Why you had to fly away
my beauty queen from yesterday
and how's it felt to fall from grace
I never had the chance to say
that you were good enough, good enough
for me

[Intro]
Welcome
Ya see, what we wanna talk about today
Is dimes that turn to pennies
Women that turn to bitches
Honeys that turn to hoes
I know y'all out there know exacty what I'm talkin' about
Somebody that'll take their welfare check
And go buy some weed, new outfit, do shit like that
Yo, fella's, have your say
Come on

I used to see her at school
She always talked to the older dudes
The ones with nice clothes and all the shoes
I guess I shoulda knew

She grew up fast in a short time
Older body but her actions showed a young mind
I mean this girl was so fine
Whoa, who woulda known

Who would've known
She would have grown to become
She's a

[1] - Drug running, jeep jumpin'
Club frontin', know nothing
Dick suckin', smoke something
Booster hustlin', dealer fuckin'
Roller duckin', street lovin'
Six children, no husband
Beauty queen

Who would've known, who would've known

[Repeat 1]

Who would've known

I'm away, my stay, you was treated like you was a supermodel
Had your little Gucci dough, 'ce Gabanna and your Perotta
Then you went and got yourself a no good baby father (Ew, you)
Started going down, sleeping around, look at you now
Disrespecting yourself, giving it up, easy to touch
Ready to fuck, now they just callin' you slut, why

Who would've known
She would have grown to become

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]

I'm talking to my ghetto
Ghetto beauty queen, how will you find a king
When you're searchin' for one thing, oh
Know you want the nicer things
Get a job and buy them things
Ain't like he got you a ring
Close your legs, don't let him in between
Don't you know that you're a queen
I'm talking to my beauty queen

[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1]
[Repeat 1 while:]

Don't you forget all about the things you said
Oh they float around inside my head
And you think you got the best of me
But hey, it's just like the history yeah

You're everything i ever wanted
And all the things i really didn't need
Cos you're an uptown girl
And your body, it speaks to me
Said, you ever take it to the wild side?
Put the pedal to the floor?
Come let's break a few rules
Girl your love is criminal

[Chorus]
You look like something straight from a magazine
You're my beauty queen
Slow motion love like a clip on a movie screen
You're my beauty queen

Here's her Victoria Secrets
She puts the g on a string
Make a blind man walk on water
She can make the holy man sin
Over and over and over
You're like the fatal attraction
You're my liftime addiction

[Chorus]

Breakfast in the morning
Loving in the evening
Caught up in the moment
Now you got me feenin
I'm a selfish lover
Let me take it further
After me, there'll be no other

[Chorus]
