I know you’ve been told that you’re not pretty
That your hair is too short
And you’re not witty
Your nose is too wide
And you smile too much
But above all, you rose

I know they say your eyes are too plain
And you have a round face with big ol’ lips
But pretty girl, those are all lies

I know they say your skin is too dark
And that you try too hard
But what a bore it is to be anyone but you

I’m here to say
Your beauty is greater than the nile
And there’s no mile left to go
You’ll reach your final journey
And when you do, Pretty girl
I promise you’ll never be lonely

They may curse your name
And hate on you
But I believe you can handle the worse
Because while your enemies hate
And your lover cheats
That doesn’t determine your fate
And when you think there’s nothing more you can take
You will recover

I know you’ve been told you don’t matter
And no one will miss you when you’re gone
And that you’re not smart enough
Or nobody likes you
Which may have made your heart race
But above all, you rose

And Pretty girl?
Your nose is perfect
Your smile is beautiful
And you will be picked first

Pretty girl, you’re more witty
Than the entire city
And your eyes hold history in them
Don’t listen to that liar

Pretty girl, your face is wonderful
Your lips are fantastic
And nobody can take your place
There’s simply no race
No arguments?
I think I rest my case

Pretty girl, your skin is alluring
And your confidence is not a sin
And the way the sun dances on your skin
And makes you glow
Simply makes everything flow

Why would you want to be anybody else?
You’re already a shining star
And a key that opens any lock
Don’t mind those who mock
There’s nobody more special than you
Oh, how I wished you believed it true

Pretty girl, you’ve already won  
So flaunt your pretty self
And leave your haters feeling sore
And begging for more

Don’t you see, pretty girl?
Those liars tried
So here’s a toast
For all your troubles
Because above all, you rose.
