Cécile McLorin Salvant - Stepsisters' Lament

Kishore Kumar Hits — Cécile McLorin Salvant - Stepsisters' Lament lyrics

Artist: Cécile McLorin Salvant

album: For One to Love

Why should a fella want a girl like her?
A frail and fluffy beauty?
Why can't a fella ever once prefer
A solid girl like me?
She's a frothy little bubble
With a flimsy kind of air
And with very little trouble
I could pull out all her hair
Oh oh why would a fella want a girl like her?
A girl who's so unusual?
Why can't a fella 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 that a doe's is
Her neck is no longer that a swan's
She's only as dainty as a daisy
She's only as graceful as a bird
So why is the fella going crazy?
Oh why would a fella want a girl like her
A girl who's merely lovely?
Why can't a fella ever once prefer
A girl who's merely me?
She's a frothy little bubble
With a frilly kind of charm
And with very little trouble
I could break her little arm
Oh, oh, why would a fella want a girl like her
A girl who's merely lovely?
Why can't a fella 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?
