Lyrics
Ma ma said, (Dm)“You’re a pret ty girl.
What’s in your head,

Brush your hair,

Just an oth (Dm)er stage:
pa geant the pain (G)a way.
This time I’m (Dm)gon na take the crown with out fall ing down, (G)down, down.
Pret ty (Dm)hurts.
We shine the light on what ev (G)er’s worst.
Per fec tion is a (Dm)dis ease of the (Am)na tion.
Pret ty hurts, (G)pret ty hurts.
Pret ty (Dm)hurts.
We shine the light on what ev (G)er’s worst.
You’re try ing to fix some thing, but you (Dm)can’t fix what you (Am)can’t see: it’s the soul that (G)needs he sur ger y.
Blond er hair, (Dm)“You’re a flat ty chest.
What’s T V says
big ger is bet ter.
South your Beach,
sug ar free,
Vogue you says
thin ner is bet ter.
Just an oth (Dm)er stage:

Ain’t got no doc tor or pill that can take the pain a way: the pain’s in side, and no bod y frees you from your bod y.
It’s the soul, it’s the soul that needs sur ger y.
It’s my soul that needs sur ger y.
Plas tic smiles and de nial can on ly take you so far; and you break when the pa per sign leaves you in the dark.
You left but shat tered mir rors and the shards of a (G)beau ti ful past.
