I saw something I was not supposed to see
  A ghostly memory that keeps on haunting me
  
  (The kitchen door was open a crack,
  So naively we peeked inside)
  
  Oh, darling sister, have they hurt you, have they hurt you?
  Oh, Pretty Baby, they won't touch you
  They won't touch you again
  We will fix this incident
  
  I don't want to be seen as a pretty thing
  'Cause it's the pretty things that we're always breaking...
  
  (And now she whispers into the mirror:) I'm broken.
  
  Oh doctor, doctor, can you fix me, can you fix me?
  
  Oh Pretty Baby, you're so naive -- but it comes off so cute
  We don't want to fix you
  We love you just the way you are
  The butterfly pinned to the page
  The nightingale locked in the cage -- won't you sing for me?
  Sing for me, uh-huh
  Yeah, we love you just the way you are
  Crushed 'neath fashion magazines
  Trampled by circus pony dreams -- won't you kiss me?
  Won't you kiss me, uh-huh
  
  Oh please, mister, can't you fix me, can't you fix me? (uh-huh)
  Someone, anyone, won't you fix me, won't you fix me? (uh-huh)
  Oh, someone, please, the moon has raped me
  I can feel it inside me
  Oh, mama, please let someone fix me!
  Let them fix me, uh-huh
  Let them fix me, uh-huh
  
  So cry yourself to sleep
  Cry yourself to sleep 'cause I am strong and you are weak
  Wait, you are strong, and I am weak
  Fuck -- just cry yourself to sleep
