She's Wishing

She catches herself in the reflection
Of a glass case, she's no exception
Her legs are too short
Her skirt is too long
She's trying too hard but she looks all wrong

She catches a snippet of conversation
About Britney Spears and tax evasion
Two people laugh
She wants to cry
They're laughing at her and she doesn't know why

She doesn't have a boyfriend
She doesn't have a life
She loves her math teacher
But her teacher has a wife
Her mother said she's pretty
But his wife is kind of hot
If her teacher waited longer
Maybe then she'd have a shot

A flock of birds flies north for summer
She's learning bass but she's a drummer
The lyrics are great
But the notes are all wrong
How the hell did Hendrix ever play this song?

Her brother told her never to snort crack
Little did she know he was hooked on smack
Her parents said she
Could keep his car
So long as she swore not to drive too far

She doesn't have a boyfriend
She doesn't have a life
She loves her math teacher
But her teacher has a wife
Her mother said she's pretty
But his wife is kind of hot
If her teacher waited longer
Maybe then she'd have a shot

She's wishing she were taller
And that she had straighter hair
She's dancing at a party like
There's nobody there
Her father said she's gorgeous
But she knows she's really not
If her teacher gets divorced
Maybe then she'll have a shot

She catches herself in the reflection
Of broken glass, she's no exception
Her eyes are too sad
Her face is too bright
All she wants is everything to be alright

She doesn't have a boyfriend
She doesn't have a life
She loves her math teacher
But her teacher has a wife
Her mother said she's pretty
But his wife is kind of hot
If her teacher waited longer
Maybe then she'd have a shot
