Dust it off, break it down
Get to what we're talking about
To what we're talking about
Don't try to hide it now
Why keep on working it out?
You can't keep working it out
'Cuz lightning is 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 say it
Don't waste the pretty, yeah
Sit back and breathe it in
Look at how lucky we are
Look how lucky we are
This life we're living in
You've gotta follow your heart
You know I'm never too far
'Cuz I know you can't turn this around
Don't be scared, work it out
There's no way now 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 say it
Don't waste the pretty
And just in case you be reminded
Girl you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
And every boy will send you heartache
'Cuz you're beautiful, beautiful, 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 say it
Don't waste the pretty, yeah
