Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material Lyrics
[Verse 1]There's certain things you're s'posed to knowWhen you're a girl who grows up in the southI try to use my common senseBut my foot always ends up in my mouthAnd if I had to walk a runway in high heels in front of the whole townI'd fall downAnd my mama criedWhen she realized[Chorus]I ain't pageant materialI'm always higher than my hairAnd it ain't that I don't care about world peaceBut I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stageI ain't exactly Ms. CongenialSometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can'tI'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't[Verse 2]God bless the girls who smile and hugWhen they're called out as a runner up on TVI wish I could, but I just can'tWear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm feelin'And who's to say I'm a 9.5Or a 4.0 if you don't even know meLife ain't always roses and pantyhoseAnd...[Chorus]I ain't pageant materialI'm always higher than my hairAnd it ain't that I don't care about world peaceBut I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stageI ain't exactly Ms. CongenialSometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can'tI'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't[Intstrumental bridge][Chorus]I ain't pageant materialThe only crown is in my glassThey won't be handin' me a sashAnd that's okay, cause there's no wayYou'll ever see me in a swimsuit on a stageI ain't exactly Ms. CongenialSometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can'tI'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain'tYeah I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
