Pretty Ugly

Written by John Teague

Safe to say she ain't taking home no trophies

She ain't breaking hearts through high school picture books

She ain't even trying to fool somebody

She's what you see is what you get folks


But every night she leaves a light on at her back door

With a bowl of Purina lamb and rice

A water bowl she cleaned out today enough feed the local stray

It's hell on a Pasadena night


She's not pretty, she's not ugly, 

She's a nail a little rusty

But tough enough to hang in there 

Kinder hearts could only feel what 

Blinder eyes could only reveal

She's not pretty, but she's not ugly


She's the life of the party on a late night sofa

There's a fakeness that surrounds those mascara looks

Spends all her time searching for the one

But breaks every rule in the stay together book


She's not pretty, she's not ugly, 

She's a nail a little rusty

But tough enough to hang in there 

Kinder hearts could only feel what 

Blinder eyes could only reveal

She's not pretty, but she's not ugly


One's the devil one's the saint

One you love and one you hate

It's a battle for the heart of a lesser man


On the surface ain't a thing gonna change

Sending my heart and all of my pain to

Casualties of a world socially broken


She's not pretty, she's not ugly, 

She's a nail a little rusty

But tough enough to hang in there 

Kinder hearts could only feel what 

Blinder eyes could only reveal

She's not pretty, but she's not ugly

She's not ugly, no
