Name: "Pretty" Rewrite (from Stranger Songs)
Duration: P00H02M29S
Description: I ADORE Ingrid Michaelson's Stranger Songs and decided to rewrite my favorite track to better reflect my headcanons! I love shipping 011/Mike but am of the opinion that 011 is agender, so this parody changes some of Michaelson's lyrics to show that. For now this is an a capella demo, I may re-record in the future once I learn the guitar part

lyrics

I’m done
Pretending to be who I’m not
But I’m gonna give all I got
You make me feel like I’m safe
now I know I can be brave

I found these friends somehow
Papa can’t hurt me now
I found my place in this world
I’m not a boy or a girl

Riding around with my short hair
Wearing weird clothes and I don’t care
If you want to see
Me just being me

I’m pretty sure I’m not like you
But maybe you really like me too
Wouldn’t change if I could
It’s not that I’m pretty
No I’m pretty damn good

You helped me see myself
Don’t have to be anyone else
I’m not afraid of this world
I’m not a boy or a girl

Riding around with my short hair
Wearing weird clothes and I don’t care
If you want to see
Me just being me

I’m pretty sure I’m not like you
But maybe you really like me too
Wouldn’t change if I could
It’s not that I’m pretty
No I’m pretty damn good

I’m shedding that old skin
Feeling fine holding your hand
I can be anything
It’s not that I’m pretty
No I’m pretty damn good

I’m happy
I’m happy to find out
That I’m happy now
I’m not a boy or a girl

I’m pretty sure I’m not like you
But maybe you really like me too
Wouldn’t change if I could
It’s not that I’m pretty
No I’m pretty goddamn good

I’m shedding that old skin
I’m feeling fine holding your hand
I can be anything
It’s not that I’m pretty
No I’m pretty damn good
