Two Rings Shy

Intro - I ain’t gonna get dressed up just to be your clown Ain’t gonna paint this pretty face like you paint the town I ain’t wastin’ good mascara just to watch it runnin’ down I ain’t gonna get dressed up just to be your clown I could spend an hour on my make-up and my hair Shoes too tall, dress too small and lacy underwear Go down to the bar, buy myself a drink Dangle there all perfect, like a puppet on a string I ain’t gonna get dressed up just to be your clown Ain’t gonna paint this pretty face like you paint the town I ain’t wastin’ good mascara just to watch it runnin’ down I ain’t gonna get dressed up just to be your clown You got girls that sing and dance, I hear one's an acrobat You got ‘em swinging from the chandelier, well, honey I don’t swing like that The main attraction’s leaving, let the sideshow pay the rent Take this diamond back, and you'll be two rings shy of the big top tent I ain’t gonna get dressed up just to be your clown Ain’t gonna paint this pretty face like you paint the town I ain’t wastin’ good mascara just to watch it runnin’ down I ain’t gonna get dressed up just to be your clown I ain’t gonna get dressed up just to be your clown Tiptoe ‘cross the tightrope, 'til you turn me upside down Cut the cable, pull the net just to let me hit the ground I ain’t gonna get dressed up just to be your clown
