Текст песни “Stepsister’s Lament” - Ann Harada feat. Ladies of the Court

Why would a fellow want a girl like her?
A frail and fluffy beauty
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer a solid girl like me?
She's a frothy little bubble with a flimsy kind of charm
And with very little trouble, I could break her little arm!
Ow, ow!

Why would a fellow want a girl like her? So, obviously unusual?
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer a usual girl like me?
Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink, but not any pinker than a rose is
Her skin may be delicate and soft, but not any softer than a doll's is
Her neck is no wider than a swan's, she's only as dainty as a daisy
She's only as graceful as a bird

So, why is the fellow going crazy?
Oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her a girl who's merely lovely?
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer a girl who's merely me?
What's the matter with the man? What's the matter with the man?
What's the matter with the man?

Yes he's witty, so disarming
And I really like the way he holds a room
Clever, cunning, ever charming
How do I make him see I'm special?
It's a pity (it's a pity)
I'm as pretty (I'm as pretty)
Plus, I've got the patience of a perfect saint
So, I'm waiting, always waiting
Nevertheless, I'm in a mess
Loosen my dress
Help me, I'm starting to—

Why would a fellow want a girl like her a girl who isn't dizzy?
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer a high-strung girl like me?
Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink but not any pinker than a rose is
Her skin may be delicate and soft but not any softer than a doll's is (what's the matter with the man?)
Her neck is no wider than a swan's (what's the matter with the man?)
She's only as dainty as a daisy (what's the matter with the man?)
She's only as graceful as a bird (what's the matter with the man?)

So, why is the fellow going crazy? Oh
Oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her, a girl who's merely lovely?
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer a girl who's merely me?
What's the matter with the man? What's the matter with the man?
What's the matter with the man? What's the matter with the man? (She is better let me be honest)
What's the matter with the man? What's the matter with the man?
