You will find breaking hearts
In every guilded cage
But someone else has got the keys
And just won't act his age
Chorus:
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
He keeps her away from the world
Cinema's on Saturdays
There's so much he will miss
Each time he leaves he'll close the door
And seal it with a kiss
Repeat chorus
Where no-one can hear her no-one can get near her
Oh oh
But she's lost the things in her mind
By which she's defined
Where are you gonna go
When he's done with you
There's nowhere else for you to turn
When you're borrowed and blue
You're a pretty thing
A butterfly on pin
He keeps you away from the world
When no-one can hear you no-one can get near you
She's a pretty thing a butterfly on a pin
She's a pretty thing a butterfly who's lost her wings
(repeat)
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly
Ooh ooh
Yeah yeah yeah
