I am 32 flavors and then some. by Alana Davis

Help! I have to learn this song to perform with my band, and I can't find
the lyrics anywhere!!!! I even bought the album - and no cigar! Can anyone
help me? This song is nowhere to be found on the net. I looked - TWICE!

Thanks in advance.

If you cant make out the lyrics by listening to it, chances are the people in
the audience can't either, so you are free to sing any old thing that sounds
right

The song is a Ani DiFranco song and here are her lyrics....don't know if they
are any different to the Alana Davis cover

32 FLAVORS - Ani DiFranco

squint your eyes and look closer
i'm not between you and your ambition
i am a poster girl with no poster
i am thirty-two flavors and then some
and i'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you're going to get hungry
and eat most of the words you just said

both my parents taught me about good will
and i have done well by their names
just the kindness i've lavished on strangers
is more than i can explain
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
just so i would think they were not home
and hid in the dark of their windows
til i'd passed and left them alone

and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a pheonix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying back

i'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and i would like to state for the record
i did everything that i could do
i'm not saying that i'm a saint
i just don't want to live that way
no, i will never be a saint
but i will always say

squint your eyes and look closer
i'm not between you and your ambition
i am a poster girl with no poster
i am thirty-two flavors and then some
and i'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you might find you're starving
and eating all of the words you said

this song is originally written by ani difranco...it's on her album "not a
pretty girl"... so you should be able to do a search on yahoo or something
for ani difranco lyrics and find her lyrics... when alana davis redid it,
she left out about a verse and a half and added some other stuff into it,
such as "i am what i am" etc...but that will at least give you most of the
lyrics and you can figure the rest out by listening to it i'm sure...

hope that helps!
