Pretty Things

Mama's high heels, cherry lipstick
 And a goodwill dress
 Play pretending, danced for the mirror
 A fairytale princess
 Pretty things are yours to hold
 My pretty thing, soon you will know
 Pretty things you think you need
 But that won't make it beautiful
 Pretty things will rob you blind
 Pretty things will fade in time
 It's what's inside that makes you shine
 My pretty thing
 It's only natural, the table's turning
 And gracefully I'll learn
 How to cradle the one who raised me
 Will be too fragile for this world
 Oh, pretty things are yours to hold
 My pretty thing, soon you will know
 That pretty things you think you need
 But that won't make it beautiful
 Pretty things will rob you blind
 Pretty things will fade in time
 It's what's inside that makes you shine
 My pretty thing
 Selfless and faithful
 As good as you should be
 Open and fearless
 Oh, what a gift you gave me
 Oh, pretty things are yours to hold
 My pretty thing soon you will know
 Pretty things, you think you need
 But that won't make it beautiful
 Pretty things will rob you blind
 Pretty things will fade in time
 What lives inside of you still shines
 My pretty thing, my pretty thing, pretty thing
