Clean - Matt Nathanson

Am I pretty enough for you now that my ribs show through?

With a little makeup I can look brand new, but can I be pretty

Enough for you?

Fill me with secrets and I’ll never tell

Fatten me up, and I’ll feed you well

You can polish me perfectly and I’ll shine pristine

But not even a cherub is this clean

Am I all that you d hoped that I would be, hanging on

Obediently

To the words that I’m finding so hard to believe?

Am I all that you d hoped that I would be?

Why don’t you just stop me if I’m sounding ungrateful

Why don’t you stop me if I’m coming on a bit too strong
