Pretty girls don't cuss, pretty girls don't cry Pretty girls don't lay in bed awake on long, cold nights Pretty girls don't wait for him to call Sometimes pretty girls don't feel pretty at all I'm a wreck, I'm a mess in a little black dress In the corner of this room I'm a heart on a sleeve that you never see Don't tell me that you do I know you put me on like a sting of pearls But I am not just a pretty girl Pretty girls don't blink, and they don't get hurt And they sure don't hear the hallow echo in your words So don't you worry about how I feel Cause after all pretty girls aren't real I'm a wreck, I'm a mess in a little black dress In the corner of this room I'm a heart on a sleeve that you never see Don't tell me that you do I know you put me on like a sting of pearls But I am not just a pretty girl On a street, in a car, right here on your arm in a bar, in a crowd, can you hear me crying out? Cause pretty girls get lost, pretty girls get scared They wonder if real love is really out there I don't know what you think of me We are all only as pretty as we believe I'm a wreck, I'm a mess in a little black dress In the corner of this room I'm a heart on a sleeve that you never see Don't tell me that you do I know you put me on like a sting of pearls But I am not just a pretty girl
