Flashbulbs fill the air
Frenzy fills the night
A lonely girl aswirl
Lost in blinding light
Living rather large
Yet feeling rather small
Step up to the mic
But you're not heard at all
Your prison has been built
Your downfall's been devised
Won't they be surprised
When you're underestimated?
They minimise your thoughts
They maximise your flaws
The trouble you can cause
When you're underestimated
Underestimated
♪
Nineteen and naive
Shy and insecure
Thinking princes never lie
Believing love is pure
Suddenly, a chance
Why not have a go?
The danger you don't see
The sorrow you don't know
So summon up your nerve
Fairytales exist
And this one has a twist
'Cause you're underestimated
You never once stood out
Hardly passed a test
Sometimes though it's best
To be underestimated
Sometimes though it's best
To be underestimated
