Don't waste the pretty

DONT WASTE THE PRETTY

Dust it off, break it down
Get to what we're talking about
To what we're talking about
Don't try and hide it now
Why keep on working it out?
You can't keep working it out

'Cause I see how he's putting you down
I just can't be around
What you doing this for?
'Cause the light in you is starting to fade
Don't let it get away
Girl, you're worth so much more

Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take, don't give it away
Don't waste the pretty on life
Soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you gotta say it
Don't waste the pretty, yeah

Sit back and breathe it in
Look at how lucky we are
Just look how lucky we are
This life we're living in
You've got to follow your heart
You know I'm never too far

Away from the pain in your eyes
I can see your disguise
But it's not too late
'Cause I know you can turn this around
Don't be scared, work it out
Listen when I say

Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take, don't give it away
Don't waste the pretty on life
Soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you gotta say it
Don't waste the pretty, yeah

And just in case you need reminding
Well you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
'Cause you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, yeah

Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take, don't give it away
Don't waste the pretty on life
Soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you gotta say it
Don't waste the pretty, yeah
