Pretty

Momma always
Showed me off
To the ladies after Sunday church
She’d say, spin around child
In your blue dress
Show ‘em all of momma’s work

And I knew that I
Had a beautiful smile
And a voice like an angel, and... (okay let’s not get carried away)
But I looked like a Dolly
When I dress for parties
And everytime momma would say

She’s as pretty as she can be
Just perfectionary to a “T”
And she makes it look so easy
And we know that she knows
She’s as pretty as she can be

Now I’m older staring
In the mirror
Wonderin’ what the hell did momma see
Cause that pretty girl spinnin’
In her blue dress
Ain’t the woman staring back at me

But I paint on a smile
And I hold my head high
So my hair don’t fall over... (cuz I’m running out of Fucking hair spray, okay!?)
And I looked like a Dolly
When I dress for parties
Cause I know everyone will say

She’s as pretty as she can be
Just perfectionary to a “T”
And she makes it look so easy
And we know that she knows
She’s as pretty as she can be

There are times that I
Realize
This is all that I will ever be

But then again there are worser things
Than being as pretty as me
(And that’s pretty damn pretty)
She’s as pretty as she can be
Just perfectionary to a “T”
And she makes it look so easy
And we know that she knows
She’s as pretty as she can
Know that she knows
She’s as pretty as she can be
