Pretty Things

Mama's high heels, cherry lipstick And a goodwill dress Play pretending, danced for the mirror A fairytale princess Pretty things are yours to hold My pretty thing, soon you will know Pretty things you think you need But that won't make it beautiful Pretty things will rob you blind Pretty things will fade in time It's what's inside that makes you shine My pretty thing It's only natural, the table's turning And gracefully I'll learn How to cradle the one who raised me Will be too fragile for this world Oh, pretty things are yours to hold My pretty thing, soon you will know That pretty things you think you need But that won't make it beautiful Pretty things will rob you blind Pretty things will fade in time It's what's inside that makes you shine My pretty thing Selfless and faithful As good as you should be Open and fearless Oh, what a gift you gave me Oh, pretty things are yours to hold My pretty thing soon you will know Pretty things, you think you need But that won't make it beautiful Pretty things will rob you blind Pretty things will fade in time What lives inside of you still shines My pretty thing, my pretty thing, pretty thing
