jasmine

she had charcoal hair and a freckled face

she's been through it all, the stronger she seemed

i looked up to her all these years

even when she was full of tears

blasted abba on her radio, never owned a phone

my sister's best friend, had plenty of them

even when she suffered a broken heart

she hated when things were apart

jasmine, a sweet and sultry girl

who wanted diamonds and pearls

she once wanted to rule the world

all by being better than her

better than you and she knew it too

often saw her smoking a cigarette, her drink of choice was a martini.

with french braids in her hair, listened to that popular band

fell in love with the idea of a troubled man

until he showed up screwing all her plans

jasmine, a sweet and sultry girl

who wanted diamonds and pearls

she once wanted to rule the world

all by being better than her

better than you and she knew it too

he treated her terribly from that night

we all thought she had lost her mind

be careful what you wish for

cause now jasmine's ambition is no more

jasmine, a sweet and sultry girl

who wanted diamonds and pearls

she once wanted to rule the world

all by being better than her

better than you and she knew it too
