Pretty Ugly Lyrics
[Chorus]
Have you ever seen a pretty girl get ugly like this?
Messy like this?
Losin' her shit?
Have you ever seen a pretty girl get ugly like this?
Messy like this?
Losin' her shit?
[Verse 1]
I-I-I-I might throw a fit, make you sick
Gasolina on your shit, blue eyeshadow bitch
Singin' that, "Ah-ah-ah-ah"
I-I-I-I might slit a tire, crash a Benz
I might hook up with your friend, do that shit again
Singin' that, "Ah-ah-ah-ah"
[Pre-Chorus]
Makeup runnin' down my face
Kickin' off my heels, cut my dress this way
They tell me to be nice, I should know my place
Sometimes a girl don't wanna be well-behave-have-haved
[Chorus]
Have you ever seen a pretty girl get ugly like this? (Like this)
Messy like this (Like this)
Losin' her shit
Have you ever seen a pretty girl get ugly like this? (Like this)
Messy like this (Like this)
Losin' her shit (Oh)
[Verse 2]
Everybody's tellin' me to sit there really pretty
But I'm feelin' like I wanna cause some trouble in the city tonight
Fuck the ladylike, more like crazy-like, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Flippin' tables at the bar, turn the beat up, make it hard
Wanna take it too far, ain't afraid tonight
Fuck the ladylike, more like crazy-like
[Pre-Chorus]
Makeup runnin' down my face (Ah-ah)
Kickin' off my heels, cut my dress this way (Ah, ah-ah)
They tell me to be nice, I should know my place (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Sometimes a girl don't wanna be well-behave-have-haved
[Chorus]
Have you ever seen a pretty girl get ugly like this? (Like this)
Messy like this (Like this)
Losin' her shit
Have you ever seen a pretty girl get ugly like this? (Like this)
Messy like this (Like this)
Losin' her shit (Oh)
[Bridge]
I don't need no alibi (Pre-pretty ugly)
I can see you're terrified (Still wanna fuck me)
I-I-I don't need no alibi (Pre-pretty ugly)
I-I-I can see you're terrified (Still wanna fuck me) (Oh)
I don't need no alibi (Pre-pretty ugly) (Oh)
I can see you're terrified (Still wanna fuck me)
[Chorus]
Have you ever seen a pretty girl get ugly like this? (Like this)
Messy like this (Like this)
Losin' her shit
