Pretty Women

No shade of ruby red Revlon lip liner could cover the sad in her smile
And the midnight mascara is only
defining that dead look she's got in her eye
Expensive perfume don't mask the
gloom of the hurt that she's trying to hide
'Cause under the surface,
there lies the purpose and the face she paints on every night
Some pretty women are just really sad little girls
Tying up their problems with ribbons
Stringing the hurt up with pearls
She must be forgiven
Oh Lord, she's living in her own little world
Some pretty women are just really sad little girls
Her daddy once told her "A man shouldn't make you feel small,
Your mom deserves better, I promise to write or to call"
When you lose the affection, trust and direction
The first man to love you at all
Dress up the skeletons you keep in your closet
To make them feel beautiful
Some pretty women are just really sad little girls
Tying up their problems with ribbons
Stringing the hurt up with pearls
She must be forgiven
Oh Lord, she's living in her own little world
Some pretty women are just really sad little girls
Some pretty women are just really sad little girls
Tying up their problems with ribbons
Stringing the hurt up with pearls
She must be forgiven
Oh Lord, she's living in her own little world
Some pretty women are just really sad little girls
Oh oh, some pretty women are just really sad little girls
