You surely told me To freshen up your drink You would like to lose your memory But you stop and think You have an image Like a good girl should But you'd take it from its package And you'd break it if you could Pretty is as pretty does Pretty is as pretty does You've got money And lots of pretty clothes But all the money in the world Can't buy you comfort for your soul You have opinions On how your life is run But you don't let it concern you While you're trying to have fun Pretty is as pretty does Pretty is as pretty does Say you've got a good reason To throw all your money away On candy and make up To Hide seventeen years of pain You sat on your daddy's knee He told you everything was all right When you went for your mother's blessing She said " Hush your tears and say goodnight" You got a secret That's burning up your mind And you'd like to share your secret But I'd have to wait in line Pretty is as pretty does Pretty is as pretty does Pretty is as pretty does Pretty is as pretty does
