Lyrics
Pretty Face
Music and Lyrics by Stacy Allyn Baker
(verse 1)
She only reads magazines and street signs,
And she?ll look him in the eye and lie each time,
She?s one step away from walking off with the next guy
Just to prove to him she can.
(verse 2)
She likes to watch his face when she goes flirting,
She likes to see just how much she can hurt him,
And she?ll always be the first one to desert him
And he just can?t understand.
(chorus)
But, she knows she?s got him
She?ll keep him close
Because he looks at her that way.
She needs attention,
Because she knows
She?ll never be more than a pretty face.
(verse 3)
He loves her more than he likes to consider,
He spends all day just thinkin? ?bout her touch,
And he would never put her down or hit her,
But she hurts him so much.
(chorus)
?Cause, she knows she?s got him
She?ll keep him close
Because he looks at her that way.
She needs attention,
Because she knows
She?ll never be more than a pretty face.
(bridge)
And he?ll keep on pretending,
That this is the way that love goes
And she doesn?t know he knows?.
(chorus)
But, he knows she?s got him
And he?ll stay close
Until she finally turns away.
He needs her attention
Although he knows
She?ll never be more, never be more
She knows she?s got him
She?ll keep him close
?Cause he?s the only one who looks at her that way.
She needs his attention
Because she knows
She?ll never be more than a pretty face.
