(Uh huh huh)
8
[Verse 1:]
9
Mama said, "You're a pretty girl.
10
What's in your head, it doesn't matter
11
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
12
What you wear is all that matters."
13
[Pre-Hook:]
14
Just another stage, pageant the pain away
15
This time I'm gonna take the crown
16
Without falling down, down, down
17
[Hook:]
18
Pretty hurts
19
We shine the light on whatever's worse
20
Perfection is a disease of a nation
21
(Pretty hurts, Pretty hurts)
22
Pretty hurts
23
Shine the light on whatever's worse
24
Tryin' fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
25
It's the soul that needs the surgery
26
(Uh huh huh)
27
[Verse 2:]
28
Blonder hair, flat chest
29
TV says, "Bigger is better."

South beach, sugar free
31
Vogue says, "Thinner is better."
32
Just another stage, pageant the pain away
33
This time I'm gonna take the crown
34
Without falling down, down, down
35
[Hook:]
36
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
37
Perfection is a disease of a nation
38
Pretty hurts, Pretty hurts (Pretty hurts)
39
Pretty hurts (Pretty hurts), shine the light on whatever's worse
40
Tryin' to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
41
It's the soul that needs the surgery
42
[Bridge:]
43
Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
44
The pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body
45
It's the soul, it's my soul that needs surgery
46
It's my soul that needs surgery
47
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
48
And you break when the fake facades leave you in the dark
49
You're left with shattered mirrors and the shards of a beautiful girl
50
[Hook:]
51
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
52
(Pretty hurts)
53
Perfection is a disease of a nation
54
(Pretty hurts, Pretty hurts)
55
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
56
Tryin' to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
57
It's the soul that needs the surgery
58
[Outro:]
59
When you're alone all by yourself
60
(Pretty hurts Pretty hurts)
61
And you're lying in your bed
62
(Pretty hurts, Pretty hurts)
63
Reflection stares right into you
64
(Pretty hurts, Pretty hurts)
65
Are you happy with yourself?
66
(Pretty hurts Pretty hurts)
67
You stripped away the masquerade
68
(Pretty hurts, Pretty hurts)
69
The illusion has been shed
70
(Pretty hurts, Pretty hurts)
71
Are you happy with yourself?
72
(Pretty hurts, Pretty hurts)
73
Are you happy with yourself?
74
(Pretty hurts, Pretty hurts)
75
Yes
76
Uh huh huh
