So, I heard an AI AJ Jolene cover and got to talking about how if I wanted to hear Applejack sing Jolene, I'd sing it myself. Someone requested I figure out a way to make it about Rarity and it very quickly turned into a song about Applejack's POV during Simple Ways. Revised lyrics under the cut. Note that I kind of recorded the whole thing in one take, so if there are places where the lyrics don't quite match what I sang, I absolutely just messed it up or didn't enunciate well enough.
Rarity, oh Rarity,
I just don't see how you could like that guy
Rarity, oh Rarity,
You're way outta his league, not outta mine
Your beauty is beyond compare,
You fancy up your violet hair,
Your ivory coat is never not pristine
Your smile's like a breath of spring,
Your laughter echoes in my brain,
I'd tell you but you'd think I'm being mean
That that guy you like, yeah he's a douche
I'd hammer home but it's no use,
You're blind to me, gosh darn it, Rarity,
You don't seem to understand
How much you just don't need that man,
You're better off with me, oh Rarity.
Rarity, oh Rarity,
I just don't get how you could like that guy,
Rarity, oh Rarity,
You're stupid but I know I gotta try
You think that he's the perfect fit,
I know that he's an idiot,
If he don't see what I see, Rarity
You aren't yourself, that I can see,
It hurts to see you tryin' to be
A bad imitation of me, Rarity
Rarity, oh Rarity
I need you back to shinin' like a star
Rarity, oh Rarity,
I loved you first for bein' who you are
I love you most for bein' who you are
I need you back to bein' who you are
Rarity
P.S. If you liked this, consider requesting another cover- altered or as is. This was super fun.
