Fixing Her Hair Lyrics - Imperfectly - Ani Difranco

She's looking in the mirror 

She's fixing her hair 

And I touch my head to feel 

What isn't there 

She's humming a melody 

We learned in grade school 

She's so happy 

And I think 

This is not cool 

Cause I know the guy 

She's been talking about 

I have met him before 

And I think 

What is this beautiful beautiful woman 

Settling for? 

 

She bends her breath 

When she talks to him 

I can see her features begin to blur 

As she pours herself 

Into the mold he made for her 

And for everything he does 

She has a way to rationalize 

She says he don't mean what he do 

She tells me he called 

To apologize 

 

He says he loves her 

He says he's changing 

And he can keep her warm 

And so she sits there like America 

Suffering through slow reform 

But she'll never get back the time 

And the years sneak by 

One by one 

She is still playing the martyr 

I am still praying for revolution 

 

And she still doesn't have what she deserves 

But she wakes up smiling every day 

She never really expected more 

That's just not the way we are raised 

And I say to her, 

You know, 

There's plenty of really great men out there 

But she doesn't hear me 

She's looking in the mirror 

She's fixing her hair
