Dust it off, break it down

Get to what we're talking about

To what we're talking about

Don't try and hide it now

Why keep on working it out?

You can't keep working it out



Cause I see how it's putting you down

I just can't be around

What you doing this for?

Cause I lie and you started to fray

Don't let it get away

Cause you're worth so much more



Don't waste the pretty on him

Don't waste the pretty on pain

When it gets too much to take 

Don't give it away (don't give it away)

So don't waste the pretty on life

Cause soon it's gonna fly on by

Whatever way you gotta see

Don't waste the pretty, eh eh



Sit back and breathe it in

Look at how lucky we are

Look at how lucky we are

This life we're living in

You gotta follow your heart

Yeah, you know I'm never too far



Away from the pain in your eyes

I can see your disguise

But it's not too late (it's not too late)

Cause I know you can turn this around

Don't be scared, work it out

Listen when I say (listen when I say)



Don't waste the pretty on him

Don't waste the pretty on pain

When it gets too much to take 

Don't give it away (don't give it away)

So don't waste the pretty on life

Cause soon it's gonna fly on by

Whatever way you gotta see

Don't waste the pretty, eh eh



And just in case you need in reminding

Well, you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

And every note just sends you higher

Cause you're beautiful

You're beautiful

You're beautiful



Don't waste the pretty on him (him)

Don't waste the pretty on pain (pain)

When it gets too much to take 

Don't give it away (don't give it away)

So don't waste the pretty on life

Cause soon it's gonna fly on by

Whatever way you gotta see

Don't waste the pretty, eh eh



Don't waste the pretty, don't waste the pretty

Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty

Don't waste the pretty

Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty

Don't waste the pretty, don't waste the pretty

Cause you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful



Don't waste the pretty, don't waste the pretty

Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty

Don't waste the pretty

Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty

Don't waste the pretty, don't waste the pretty
