Nine out of ten say she doesn't look pretty.
One out of ten says she does.
Nine out of ten say she never was, really.
One out of ten says she was.
She knows that the nine out of ten are right.
With good looks she'd never been blessed.
She's not foolish enough to think she could stand
Up in pride when compared to the rest.
And she knows that the one who says she has worth
Is not suffering from fits of blindness.
No, his words just refer to the goodness in her
And he just wants to treat her with kindness.
So, nine out of ten show her reality
And one out of ten fantasy.
Nine out of ten show her just what she is
And one, what she can hope to be.
Though she may never find the success she is seeking
Still, her load is much lighter because
Although nine out of ten say she doesn't look pretty
One out of ten says she does.
