Written by Anastacia Newkirk, Glen Ballard, Kara DioGuardi
Floating in a circle of illusion and deceit
Drifting far beneath the skin
The taste of bittersweet
Giving in to fantasies
Playing every part
It's so hard to break away
From what he says you are
He calls you pretty little dum dum
He says he loves you but he lies
He says that you're the one one
But that's eleven in his eyes
Whatever happens from one through ten
Don't be a victim of his past tense
Pretty little one one
Don't, don't, don't be a pretty little dum dum
C'mon now...
Neverending silence
In an ever ending sleep
Walking through the darkness
Complicated melody
Praying for a change of heart
And looking for a sign
It's so hard to find the love you want
In broken times
He calls you pretty little dum dum
He says he loves you but he lies
He says that you're the one one
But that's eleven in his eyes
Whatever happens from one through ten
Don't be a victim of his past tense
Pretty little one one
Don't be a pretty little dum dum
Oh, it's so hard to be what you wanna be
(And you wanted to be the one but you know that you have to run)
Your life's incomplete
It's so bittersweet
(And you wanted to be the one but you know that you have to run)
Oh it's so hard to be what you want to be
He calls you pretty little dum dum
He says he loves, yeah
He says that you're the one one
But that's eleven in his eyes
Oh yeah,...
Whatever happens from one through ten
Don't be a victim of his past tense
Don't be a pretty little dum dum
Oh, pretty dum dum
