lyrics
I should have been a beauty
Painted by Boldini
Celebrated elegance
With suitors deemed unseemly
I should have sat for Sargent
Let the masses make a fuss
Over errant shoulder straps
We must do what we must
I was born out of time
It's far too late to get out of line
In this age I'm good
Oh, one hundred years to be misunderstood
I should have borrowed trouble
I should have stolen pearls
I should have taken men to task
And flirted with the girls
I should have danced on tables
Or had a circus show
I would have flashed my ankles
At people in the know
I was born out of time
It's far too late to get out of line
In this age I'm good
Oh, one hundred years to be misunderstood
Loosen the laces
Throw open the shutters
I'm not the only one lost here
There have to be others
So put down your pens
And just drop the disguise
We are misplaced here...
I was born out of time
It's far too late to get out of line
In this age I'm good
I was born out of time
It's far too late to get out of line
In this age I'm good
Oh, one hundred years to be misunderstood
