Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes it's hard to tell
Am I a mess or just a mess with you?
I've gotten used to hell
And now I can say the hottest flames are blue
Like me and you
[PreChorus]
So I'm done now
I'm pretty and young now
And I won't let you lock me up inside
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
Got my makeup done just right
It's a waste of mascara
It's a waste of my time, not tonight
In a dress you call too tight
It's the dawn of an era, say goodbye
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
I'm too hot to cry
[Verse 2]
You almost had me convinced
The best thing about me was this
But I'm looking in the mirror
And I can see you don't know shit
And I'm sure you'll hate me, call me crazy
But I've never looked better than this
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
Got my makeup done just right
It's a waste of mascara
It's a waste of my time, not tonight
In a dress you call too tight
It's the dawn of an era, say goodbye
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
I'm too hot to cry
[Bridge]
So I'm done now
I'm pretty and young now
And I know it's gonna eat you up inside
[Instrumental]
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
Got my makeup done just right
It's a waste of mascara
It's a waste of my time, not tonight
In a dress you call too tight
It's the dawn of an era, say goodbye
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
'Cause I'm too hot to cry
