I actually haven't decided what to call this, yet. Give me some ideas, of if you like "Pretty In Pink" then say that. COnstructive criticism appreciated.
---

She's pretty in pink, doesn't know what to think
Doesn't know what to think, oh no!
And she walks around, like she's wearing a crown
in a pretty pink gown, oh no!

Her friends call her names behind her back
She's a nice kid, just cut her some slack
A misguided youth with good a good outlook
It'd help, though, if she'd pick up a book

She's Pretty neat, gliding on her feet
It's got me beat, oh no!
She's pretty cool, but she plays the fool
not to sound too cruel, oh no!

As she walks down the hall heads turn
as she walks past them all hearts burn
But hey... hey
WHAT CAN I SAY

She's pretty in pink, doesn't know what to think
Doesn't know what to think, oh no!
And she walks around, like she's wearing a crown
in a pretty pink gown, oh no!
Oh no! Oh no! Oh!

How about calling it "Think Pink"
or "Pink Think"...
Love the song...it is beautiful...

As a song it may work all right. But song lyrics rarely make "good" poetry. Lyrics usually need the background of the music to really present themselves properly. This one is certainly no exception.

But hey, welcome to PIP/CA anyway.
