[Verse 1]
Look the sea just parted
Stop the race that started
Faking gaps for generations
Of nations
She's from Rapid City
Fueled on pride and pity
It's enough that she was raised there
Not to stay there
[Chorus]
Why you gotta be so proud?
I'm the one with lipstick on
Why you gotta be so proud?
I'm the one with lipstick on
[Verse 2]
Bought a Stratocaster
Learned to play it faster
Fixed her hair and joined a rock band
Ooh a rock band
Saw her in the paper
Tried so hard to hate her
It's just I'd rather see the movie
It'd move me
[Chorus]
Why you gotta be so proud?
I'm the one with lipstick on
Why you gotta be so proud?
I'm the one with lipstick on
Why you gotta be so proud?
I'm the one with lipstick on
Why you gotta be so proud?
I'm the one with lipstick on
[Verse 2]
Autographs and spotlights
Makeup under hot lights
Girls who stand in line to see her
Wanna be her
Stalkers in the trees and
Cameras smashed to pieces
All she wanted was a pony
Just a pony
[Chorus]
Why you gotta be so proud?
I'm the one with lipstick on
Why you gotta be so proud?
I'm the one with lipstick on
Why you gotta be so proud?
I'm the one with lipstick on
Why you gotta be so proud?
I'm the one with lipstick on
