They dressed her up in lace and curls
All the things she wasnâÂÂt
Taught her life was not much more
Than looking for a husband
With a straight face
With a straight face
Friends are playing Barbie dolls
She doesnâÂÂt feel so normal
Picture from the senior prom
The gown was big and formal
With a straight face
With a straight face
The family name, you ought to be ashamed
Your father yelled, your mother prayed
They mean well, theyâÂÂre tryinâ to fix your soul
Or theyâÂÂre trying to get you laid
Or they just roll their eyes
Like youâÂÂre not something God made
With a straight face
The neighbors called him âÂÂmammaâÂÂs boyâÂÂ
He wants to be a dancer
Questions they donâÂÂt want to ask
HeâÂÂs afraid to answer
With a straight face
With a straight face
His friends are playing Superman
He pretends heâÂÂs normal
Picture from the senior prom
The smile was big and formal
With a straight face
With a straight face
The family name, you ought to be ashamed
Your father yelled, your mother prayed
They mean well, theyâÂÂre tryinâ to fix your soul
Or theyâÂÂre trying to get you laid
Or they just roll their eyes
Like youâÂÂre not something God made
With a straight face
