"You Don't Know Me"

You don't know me--
As well as you think you do.
You don't know me--
If I seem like an angel to you.

You don't know me--
Behind the mask that I wear.
You don't know me--
And I think that's a little unfair.

You don't know me--
Only what I want you to.
You don't know me--
But I'm kind of hoping you do.

"The Black Sheep"

Make me the black sheep--
So what? Oh well!
Make me the black sheep--
I don't care as you can tell.

Make me the black sheep--
Go ahead and count me out.
I don't care what you're saying,
Or if it's me you're talking about.

Make me the black sheep--
If that what's you want to do.
Obviously, I'm not listening--
I could care less about you.

Make me the black sheep--
I'm used to it by now.
Go ahead and talk about me--
I don't care anyhow.

"Just A Doll With Puppet Strings"

I'm just a doll with puppet strings--

For someone who likes to play with things.

I'm just a doll with a pretty face--

Something to look at until I'm replaced.

I'm just a doll with puppet strings--

And I don't even know who's pulling my strings...

"An Unconventional Beauty"

She's beautiful--
But not in the conventional way.
It's not in her looks,
Or in the quirky things she says.

She's so different.
She lives in a league of her own.
She lives in the clouds--
In a no-fly zone.

"Fragile Heart"

My heart is so fragile,
That I leave it protected.
Until I find someone--
That won't leave it neglected.

My heart is so delicate--
So, I keep it safe with me.
And only if you're worthy,
Will I set it free.
