Two Rings Shy Songtext
von Miranda Lambert

I ain′t gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town
I ain′t wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down
I ain′t gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
I could spend an hour on my makeup and my hair
Shoes to tall, dress to small, and lacy underwear
Go down to the bar, buy myself a drink
Dang they′re all perfect, like a puppet on a string


I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
Ain′t gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town
I ain't wastin′ good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down
I ain′t gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

You got girls that sing and dance, I hear one's an acrobat
You got 'em swinging from the chandelier, well honey I don′t swing like that
The main attraction′s leaving, let the side show pay the rent
Take this diamond back and you'll be two rings shy of the big top tent

I ain′t gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town
I ain′t wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin′ down
I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown


I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
Tiptoe ′cross the type-rope, ′til you turn me upside down
Cut the cable, pull the net, just to let me hit the ground
I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
