I fought it all for a while But I went out of style again I don't read the magazines And I can't keep up with the trends The red on my nails keeps chipping off The pink on my lips just adds to the flaws I ain't good at fake lashes Every time I wear high heels I fall Being pretty ain't pretty, it takes all day long You spend all your money just to wipe it all off You spray on your perfume, you spray on your tan Get up in the morning, do it over again Being pretty ain't pretty at all Mama was simple Sweet as the day is long Daddy always said she looked better With no makeup on She wouldn't be caught dead Bleaching her reds But I'd spend the house Claiming on new cowboy boots How the hell did the apple Fall so damn far from the tree Being pretty ain't pretty, it takes all day long You spend all your money just to wipe it all off You spray on your perfume, you spray on your tan Get up in the morning, do it over again Being pretty ain't pretty at all Being pretty ain't pretty, it takes all day long You spend all your money just to wipe it all off You spray on your perfume, you spray on your tan Get up in the morning, do it over again Being pretty ain't pretty at all Being pretty ain't pretty
