don't waste your pretty- original song

lyrics:
you have pretty things
lined up for you
but you run away soon
as the pretty comes true

I might be pretty
but I’m not a fool
i work too hard
to waste my pretty on
someone like you

don’t waste your pretty
don’t waste your pretty
on someone who can’t see
how pretty you are

don’t waste your love
don’t waste your time
on somebody who doesn’t love all of your heart

he’s pretty cute
has a pretty guitar
he’ll play a pretty number
all over your heart

and just when you think
that he’s turning around
he’ll show his true face again
and let you down

he might be pretty
he’s a pretty fool
to be taking a gamble
with someone as precious as you

don’t waste your pretty
don’t waste your pretty
on someone who can’t see
how pretty you are

don’t waste your love
don’t waste your time
on somebody who can’t love all of your heart

he’s pretty sure
he’s pretty selfish
he’s pretty much better off
anyone else’s

i’m met my share
of pretty boys
treated my pretty heart
like it was a toy

with mascara running
down both of my eyes
my dad said come here darlin’
before you say goodbye

I stood in the doorway
and he looked at me
he said I just had to tell you something
before you leave

don’t waste your pretty
don’t waste your pretty
on somebody who can’t see
how pretty you are

don’t waste your love
don’t waste your time
on somebody who can’t love all of your heart

it’s pretty hard but
I’m sure there’s a way
to make ugly ones go
and the pretty ones stay

it’s pretty hard but
i think there’s away
all the ugly ones go
and the pretty ones stay
