Pretty Lyrics by Mackenzie Johnson

2013

Never exactly the girl I want to be
My hair isn't long enough
Not like the magazines

And the smile that I wear
As transparent as a thing that we call beauty

Although I'm smarter than that
I can't help but tear apart the person that I see
Staring back at me

[Chorus]

Why can't I be pretty?
I've got everything else going for me
I know that I am witty and I'm silly
My soul has seen a thousand years
And places before this
But I just want pretty
Pretty, pretty oh
Why can't I be pretty?

Put so much work into being just like you
Put my person below your worthless point of view
Even though I know the truth

Everything is second best
The things you love, what you learned
And who you want to be
Nothing else in this world matters
As long as you've got pretty

[Chorus]

So why can't I be pretty?
I've got everything else going for me
I know that I am witty & I'm silly
My soul has seen a thousand years
And places before this
But I just want pretty
Pretty, pretty oh
Why can't I be pretty?

One of the hardest things you'll ever do
Is learning to be at peace with you
You know your kind of pretty is worth more
Than their's could ever do
It's written all over you
So don't ask

[Chorus]

Why can't I be pretty?
Cause you are everything you wanna be and more
You know that you are witty and silly
Your soul has seen a thousand years
It'll see a thousand more
You are more than pretty
Pretty, pretty oh
You're so much more than pretty

I'm exactly the girl I want to be
