Beyoncé - Pretty Hurts Lyrics
[Verse 1]Mama said, "You're a pretty girlWhat's in your head it doesn't matterBrush your hair, fix your teethWhat you wear is all that matters"[Pre-Hook]Just another stagePageant the pain awayThis time I'm gonna take the crownWithout falling down, down[Hook]Pretty hurtsShine the light on whatever's worsePerfection is a disease of a nation(Pretty hurts, pretty hurts)Pretty hurtsShine the light on whatever's worseTryna fix somethingBut you can't fix what you can't seeIt's the soul that needs the surgery[Verse 2]Blonder hair, flat chestTV says "bigger is better"South Beach, sugar-freeVogue says"Thinner is better"[Pre-Hook][Hook][Bridge]Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain awayThe pain's inside and nobody frees you from your bodyIt's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery(It's my soul that needs surgery)Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so farAnd you break when the faker sides leave you in the darkYou're left with shattered mirrorsAnd the shards of a beautiful glass[Hook][Outro]When you're alone all by yourselfAnd you're lying in your bedReflection stares right into youAre you happy with yourself?Stripped away the masqueradeThe illusion has been shedAre you happy with yourself?Are you happy with yourself?Yes...
