I Feel Pretty
Moriarty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel pretty, oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
And i pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight

I feel charming, oh so charming
It's alarming how charming i feel
And so pretty
That i hardly can believe i'm real

See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face, such a pretty smile
Such a pretty dress, such a pretty me

I feel stunning and entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy

For i'm loved
By a pretty, wonderful boy

@winonification no, he really dated her.
they went out three times.
jim texted her on her blog, where he said that she has a cute nose.
they started talking, and then he invited her to grab a coffee in the canteen.
later he was in her house. she introduced him to her cat, toby. they watched glee together and jim learned her how to use autocorrect.
it's all written in her blog.
when she found out that he was gay (well, when sherlock told her), molly got angry at him and started shouting. she dumped him.
later she was worried, because he didn't show up to work and his boss was getting angry. she apologized to him for screaming at him, told him it was okay if he's gay, but she wanted him to let her now, that he's okay.
then she found out that jim from it was actually jim moriarty.

that's the end of their love story :P

The fact that Sherlock was not only looking at Moriarty’s underwear but knows what brand is “gay” gets me every time.

It's just so he can be more "deductive".
