Lyrics
pretty girls know the score nancy rost/mike skliar © 2007
she smiled at me and I knew she was brilliant
her thoughts thicker then her hair and twice as resilient
Made me believe when she walked thru the door
Pretty girls like her know the score
I’m gonna tell you how it's gonna be
she taught me a new epistemology
whoever contradicts her you can safely ignore
, pretty girls like her know the score
bridge:
if you find her a bit uncouth,
remember, truth is beauty, beauty, truth
they told me that her name was ruth,
but her nickname was the brain….
she knows Einsteinian theory,
the water flow of Lake Erie, and any other query
no matter how arcane….
philosophers pondering paradigms
Still put their pants on one leg at a time
she’s got an iq of 300 and a body you could never prepare for
pretty girls, pretty girls like her know the score.
