When You’re Pretty Lyrics by Daniel Johnston

The What of Whom

0

It must be so hard to be so pretty
It must be so hard to be so pretty
And every goof ball in town yelling everywhere you go
Saying hey look there goes a pretty face

It must be so hard to be so pretty
Everything comes easy and free
When you're pretty
When you're pretty

It must be a pain to be so pretty
It must a strain to be so well liked
It must be a pain to know that what they like about you
Has nothing to do with you at all
It's just that you are so pretty

When you are pretty

It must be fun though sometimes to just enjoy it all
And laugh, just laugh
It must be sad though sometimes
It must be ugly
When you're pretty
When you're pretty

Its so sad to see a pretty face
It must be so hard to be so pretty
And all the goofballs in town
Yelling everywhere you go
Saying hey look there goes a pretty face
