May I Have This Dance

I know I'm not beautiful,
I know I'm not strong,
I know I'm not good for you,
Will you tell me what's wrong?

I know I'm not the smartest,
I know I don't have it all,
I know that there's someone better,
But will I embrace the fall?

I know I'm not the exact same girl,
That I used to be
I know I don't have the exact same flaws,
Because they've multiplied rapidly

I know I don't have a perfect skin tone,
Or the most dazzling hair,
I know I won't ever have a gown and glass slippers,
But for once will you try not to care?

I know I'm not the one for you,
But can I have a chance,
Can we pretend that this is happily ever after,
And may I have this dance?
