Pretty Shiny Things Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pretty shiny things
Mama loves pretty shiny things
As long as they look good on the outside
They better look good on the outside

Pretty shiny things
I'm one of her pretty shiny things
She says it ain't no secret you can't hide
Bottle it up on the inside

[Chorus]
Put your makeup on girl
Stand up straight
Your face will take you farther than your brain
You oughta know by now, beauty is pain

[Verse 2]
Pretty shiny things
Mama keeps her pretty shiny things
Hidden in a dresser drawer
Orange bottles from the corner store One to help her sleep
The other ones are red and blue and pink
It's a colorful cocktail
You could ask her but she'll never tell

[Chorus]
Put your makeup on girl
Stand up straight
Your face will take you farther than your brain
You oughta know by now, beauty is pain

[Verse 3]
Pretty shiny things are gonna collect dust
Pretty shiny things I swear that there's more to us

[Chorus 2]
Take your makeup off girl
Hold your head high
Let your guard down
Don't be scared to cry
Ain't nothing pretty bout a perfect life
