Verse

dust it off, break it down

 get to what we're talkin about

x2

to what we're talkin about

 don't try to hide it now

 why keep on working it out?

 you can't keep working it out

Refrain

 'cause i see how it's putting you down

 i just can't be around

x2

what you doing this for?

 'cause the light in you's starting to fade

 don't let it get away

 girl you're worth so much more

Chorus

 don't waste the pretty on him

 don't waste the pretty on pain

 when it gets too much to take

x2

don't give it away

don't waste the pretty on life

 soon it's gonna fly on by

 whatever way you got to see

 don't waste the pretty

Verse

sit back and breath it in

look at how lucky we are

look at how lucky we are

this life we're livin' in

you got to follow your heart

you know I'm never too far

Refrain

away from the pain in your eyes

i can see your disguise

but it's not too late

'cause I know you can turn this around

don't be scared, work it out

and listen when I say

Chorus

Bridge

now just in case you need reminding

x2

well you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

and there ain't no use in you hiding

x2

'cause you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Chorus

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
