Pretty Women

[Verse 1]

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

Of the face she paints on every night

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

Of the first man to love you at all

You dress up the skeletons you keep in your closet

To make them feel beautiful

[Chorus]

'Cause 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Ooh

Some pretty women are just really sad little girls
