LYRICS

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,
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

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
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

Pretty shiny things,
Are gonna collect dust
Pretty shiny things,
I swear that there's more to us
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
