Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Little miss angry
Why you wanna cry
They don't mean a thing
Don't let 'em get into your mind
Should've known all along you're beautiful inside
Brush 'em off baby
Keep movin' on girl
Little miss angry
Why you wanna cry
They don't mean a thing
Don't let 'em get into your mind
Should've known all along you're beautiful inside
Brush 'em off baby keep movin' on

Little miss angry
Little miss angry

Little miss angry
You wanna cry

You're beautiful
Yeah

Wait wait
Hold up
I have an idea
Wait
Yeah

Yeah
True story right here
Check it out

Got me feelin' no face
Call me Natie to face
My best friends a joker
No wait she two faced
Have a kaya at 8
Told me wait
Cause she called me at 1 in the mornin'
Guess my phone broke again

Hardly was a hottie at the high school party
With my boyfriend on the Harley
And a Bigotti for my ride

My only compadrae
Yeah was my modrae
No one to party with me
But that's fine
My tshirts white
Now their calling me vintage

Got the manners of a maza
But the mind of a rich kid
And the minks
When I'm flyin' to Aspen and back
Then there was a dream in the atlas

I otta know where i put my bookbag
I don't even know
Lubatone turned up
Slippin' tables
Now you written on my Facebook
Hey Girl

Memory Lane
I need some memory lose

They call me Plain Jane
Girl you ain't my sister
You don't even know my name

They call me Plain Jane
He ain't my brother
He don't even know my name

They call me Plain Jane
They don't talk to me
When they see me everyday

They call me Plain Jane
You don't know me
You don't even know my name

Haha
Check it out
Its an ironic thing
The prom queens gotta drive a verda king
Saturday she a hotel receptionist
I got a party in my suit
She tryin' to make the list

Sitting in the corner
While the others where dancing
My crew looked like an ugly bag of cats

We were very ordinary
Now contrarely they envy me
When I'm seen on the television
They say I'm a visionary

Midiocre was my extrior
Me report card said I'd never be a rock star
Don't take it to heart
Said my ma
You interior
At large
Is superior by far

Now I'm popular
On the scarlet carpet
I walk to Prada
You walk to Target

Invisible onisible
I know how all the magicians do

Whats that you called me
Oh you forgot it

They call me Plain Jane
Girl you ain't my sister
You don't even know my name

They call me Plain Jane
He ain't my brother
He don't even know my name

They call me Plain Jane
They don't talk to me
When they see me everyday

They call me Plain Jane
You don't even know me
You don't even know my name

They call me Plain Jane
They don't know my name
No no

They call me Plain Jane
Yeah
They call me Plain Jane
They don't know my name
No
They call me Plain Jane
They call me Plain Jane

They call me Plain Jane
They call me Plain Jane
Plain Jane





Is it ok
