Makes You Pretty
It starts when you're 13
Lookin' at a magazine
Flawless faces
Then you're touchin' up your photos
Spendin too much on your clothes
Endless chasin'
You think it's your hair
If it's done just right
Or if you lose five pounds
By Friday night
But it's the lines on your face
When you're laughin' away
That you can't back up at the end of the day
It's the tears that you cry
It's the strength that you find
On the bathroom floor
In the middle of the night
Sometimes it ain't pretty
But that's what makes you pretty, girl
When you're sending up a prayer
No one's carin' what you wear
Your hearts wide open
While callin' up an old friend
Askin' wonderin' how they've been
You start glowin'
No mascara
Lights up your eyes
No gloss on your lips
Can make you shine
Like the lines on your face
When you're laughin' away
That you can't back up at the end of the day
It's the tears that you cry
It's the strength that you find
On the bathroom floor in the middle of the night
Sometimes it ain't pretty
But that's what makes you pretty
Girl
Oh
Pretty girl
Oh oh
It's the praise and the critics
The walls that you hit
When you're runnin' full speed to a dream don't quit
The lines on your face
When you're laughin' away
That you can't back up at the end of the day
It's the tears that you cry
It's the strength that you find
On the bathroom floor in the middle of the night
Sometimes it ain't pretty
But that's what makes you pretty, girl
Lookin' at a magazine
Flawless faces
Then you're touchin' up your photos
Spendin too much on your clothes
Endless chasin'
You think it's your hair
If it's done just right
Or if you lose five pounds
By Friday night
But it's the lines on your face
When you're laughin' away
That you can't back up at the end of the day
It's the tears that you cry
It's the strength that you find
On the bathroom floor
In the middle of the night
Sometimes it ain't pretty
But that's what makes you pretty, girl
When you're sending up a prayer
No one's carin' what you wear
Your hearts wide open
While callin' up an old friend
Askin' wonderin' how they've been
You start glowin'
No mascara
Lights up your eyes
No gloss on your lips
Can make you shine
Like the lines on your face
When you're laughin' away
That you can't back up at the end of the day
It's the tears that you cry
It's the strength that you find
On the bathroom floor in the middle of the night
Sometimes it ain't pretty
But that's what makes you pretty
Girl
Oh
Pretty girl
Oh oh
It's the praise and the critics
The walls that you hit
When you're runnin' full speed to a dream don't quit
The lines on your face
When you're laughin' away
That you can't back up at the end of the day
It's the tears that you cry
It's the strength that you find
On the bathroom floor in the middle of the night
Sometimes it ain't pretty
But that's what makes you pretty, girl
