Written by Laura Weller

lyrics

Ugly Girls

Had her fill of mirrors
Unfairest of them all
Drove away to disappear
In the camouflage of fall

Waiting tables for the locals
Nameless faceless drone
Boss says looks don’t matter
When the summer season’s done

And when they think they know her
The false sweet talk begins
Ugly girl’s a good sport
Lets the losers win

That’s the way it is
That’s the way it is for ugly girls

In the kitchen grease and sweat
Melting pasted smile
Ugly girl works so hard
Choking on her bile

Boss knows about her hunger
And sick to death she eats
Second helpings of disgrace
Her starving heart still beats

And when he thinks he knows her
The false sweet talk begins
Makes like she’s a good sport
Lets the loser win

That’s the way it is
That’s the way it is for ugly girls

Inspired by the short story Ugly Girl.
