Pretty people got their problems
Much more problems than you and me
They gotta worry about their image
Can't be footloose and fancy free
What if they start going bald
What if they start getting fat
They might stop being pretty
And being pretty is where it's at
Here's the church, here's the steeple
Pray for the pretty people
Pretty people got their hardships
I'm sure you might agree
Being pretty takes a lot of work
You can't be pretty casually
Got to stay at the cutting edge
Got to buy the coolest clothes
Got to wear the the hippest cologne
So you can keep on smelling like a rose
Pretty people are so persecuted
Just for looking so darn hot
Your average Joe and Jill are jealous of them
Because of what their not
Sure you want to be admired
For what you're like on the surface
As long as no one peers too deep
That would defeat the purpose
