Jewel - Silver Satin Wings lyrics

and it was probably true.

"But what else can you do when looks are all people notice

and looks are all that they want, too."

And now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying

Now she lies beneath his silver satin

wings Cause she was never raised to know any better

because he is the best thing she has ever seen

And Papa said she's too cute for words

So she never learned how to speak

And mama said she don't need to read

just a hot mercedes and a decent man that won't (spring a leak)?

So now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying

Now she lies beneath his silver satin wings

Cause she was never raised to know any better

because he is the best thing she has ever seen

In school all she learned that talk is cheap

but looks they come for free

They said "Hey, why try and think girl, if you can smile

and get anything you need?"

So now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying

Now she lies beneath his silver satin wings

Cause she was never raised to know any better

because he is the best thing she has ever seen

She said "Sometimes there's this fear inside

that cannot sleep at night, though he is sleeping fine

And I used to like the way he talked

before I knew promises were just other words for 'goodbye'."

See now she's sitting in the bedroom and she's crying

As she lies beneath his silver satin wings

Cause she was never raised to know any better

because he is the best thing she

He is the best thing she will ever see
