Lyrics
She was mama's little prayer and Daddy's little angel, heaven was a place called home. No one ever told her she looked funny, I guess they didn't know. All that changed when she started school. First grade was a whole new world for an ugly duckling crosseyed little girl.
"Chorus"
She wants to be a ballerina, she wantd to be the swan, she wants a whole lot more than the girl next door, she wants to be the swan, she wants to be the swan, she wants to be the swan, she wants to be the swan, she wants to be the swan, she wants to be the swan.
26 years waiting for a lover that never came. She was starting to feel like Delta Dawn standing in the rain. She took off her glasses and called the man on T.V., four months later she was looking like the school prom queen.
"Chorus"
Now everybodys looking, but Mary's not the same. there's a whole different girl but she's got Mary's name.
Mary set her sights on higher ground. sweet little Mary wasn't really that proud. she was nice to the Mayor so he gave her the town.
She wants to be the swan, she wants to be the swan, she wants to be the swan, she wants to be the swan, she wants a whole lot more than the girl next door. she wants to be the swan, she wants to be the swan, she wants to be the swan, she wants to be the swan.
