Dust it off break it down
Get to what we're talking about
Do 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
Whatcha doing this for?
'Cause light in you starting to fade
Don't let it get away
Girl you're worth so much more
[Chorus]
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 see it
Don't waste the pretty yeah
Sit back and breathe it in
Look at how lucky we are
Look at how lucky we are
This life we're living in
You've gotta 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
[Chorus]
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 see it
Don't waste the pretty yeah
Now just in case you need reminding
Well you're beautiful you're beautiful you're beautiful
And there ain't no use in you hiding
'Cause you're beautiful
you're beautiful you're beautiful yeah
[Chorus]
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 see it
Don't waste the pretty yeah
