Honey, You're Beautiful Everyday

♫

She was a normal little girl

She loved lace and unicorns

Dreamed to have a horse—

Spent a lot of her time alone

Her daddy died when she was young

And her mama couldn't give her much

And the other kids had taken

To teasing her about her clothes

They were well-worn and out of style

Mostly Goodwill and hand-me-downs

Alot of 'almost rights'

And t-shirt collars stretched out

And the girls in her class

Never called her name

They just said, "trash"

And most days she counted down the seconds

Until the school bell rang

But still, she was just a little girl

Without a friend in this world

So she thought about it

And she come up with a plan

She thought if she looked more like them

Maybe one or all would be her friend

And maybe, just maybe,

She wouldn't be alone no more

So that day when she got home

Asked her mama for a loan

And since she had been such a good girl

Would she mind taking her to the store?

Well, her mama was getting ready to tell her 'no'

When she looked down at her little girl

She heard herself saying,

"It's on me, my love, let's go."

You've never seen a prettier sight

Than the two of them that night

Her mama smiling while that little girl

Tried on all them fancy clothes

When all was said and done

And the riches had been won

That little girl couldn't wait to see their faces

When she walked into school

Now, I'd like to say that it worked

And that all them little jerks

Were as taken as you and me with that little girl

In all them fancy clothes

But when they saw her they just laughed

Pointed fingers when she walked past

And a particularly mean one called her a name—

I won't say it here
