Two Rings Shy Lyrics


I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town
I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down
I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

I could spend an hour on my makeup and my hair
Shoes to tall, dress to small, and lacy underwear
Go down to the bar, and buy myself a drink
Dangle there all perfect, like a puppet on a string

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town
I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down
I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

You got girls that sing and dance, I hear ones an acrobat,
You got 'em swinging from the chandelier, well honey I don't swing like that
The main attraction's leaving, let the side show pay the rent
Take this diamond back and you'll be Two Rings Shy of the big top tent

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town
I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down
I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
Tiptoe 'cross the tight-rope, till you turn me upside down
Cut the cable, pull the net, just to let me hit the ground
I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

Two Rings Shy
  • Lambert wrote this with Brandy Clark, who penned "Mama's Broken Heart," and Heather Little, with whom she collaborated with on "Gunpowder & Lead."

    "It actually has a really good point to it," Lambert told Billboard magazine. "The lyrics matter. There's a lot of smart lyrics in there, because I wrote it with two really smart girls. The point of this song is very direct: don't fool with me."
  • Lambert gave specific instructions to producer Frank Liddell regarding this track. "When we wrote this song," she told Billboard, "I told Frank I wanted it to sound like the circus, like literally we need to go to a circus somewhere and just record sounds."
