Reckless in Red (Ruby)- Candy and the Corvettes

[Verse 1] You pulled up in your daddy's car With your perfect teeth and your credit cards You said I looked like trouble in my cherry-red shoes Well, honey, I've got nothing to prove! Your friends are laughing by the limousine At the girl who doesn't fit their scene I've got a second-hand dress and a heart of gold And a mouth that doesnt always do what it's told... [Pre-Chorus] You can keep your country club And your fancy magazine I don't need your invitation To be your prom queen! [Chorus] Pretty in pink Reckless in red! I've got a thousand better things To do instead! Pretty in pink! But I don't play nice! You can have your fairy tale But you can't name my price! (Ooh-ooh!) Pretty in pink! (Whoooaa) RECKLESS in red! [Verse 2] There's a boy who works down at the record store He's got a skateboard and a bedroom floor Full of punk rock records and a broken guitar And he doesn't give a damn about your daddy's car! He says he likes the way I wear my hair And he doesn't mind when I stop and stare At the midnight movies on a Friday night With his hand in mine and the world outside [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a diamond ring Or a Hollywood scene Just a boy who knows the difference Between a girl and his QUEEN! [Chorus] Pretty in pink! Reckless in red! I've got a thousand better things To do instead! Pretty in pink! But I don't play nice! You can have your fairy tale But you can't name my price! (Ooh-ooh!) Pretty in pink! (Whoa-oh!) RECKLESS in red! [Instrumental Break – Candy's Surf Guitar Solo] [Bridge – Half-Time, Ruby Spoken/Sung] They say that love is like the movies Well, I've seen how those things end The pretty girl gets the rich boy And forgets about her friends But I don't need a happy ending Written by somebody else I'll take my beat-up leather jacket And I'll write My story for myself! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! [Final Chorus – Full Band, Gang Vocals] PRETTY IN PINK! RECKLESS IN RED! I've got a thousand better things To do instead! PRETTY IN PINK! BUT I DON'T PLAY NICE! You can have your fairy tale But you can't name my price! Pretty in pink! RECKLESS in red! I'll be dancing with the "wrong" boy When the credits finally end! [Outro – Bass and Drums] (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh!) [Spoken – Ruby] Nice car, sweetheart. [Spoken – Candy] It's his dad's. [Spoken – Ruby] ...Figures. [Final Guitar Hit]
