I had a dream that I was young
But that didn't last
Too many trips around the sun
The future's in the past
Another wrinkle on my skin
Reminding me of where I've been
A broken record playin' in my memory
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
There's a story I've been told
Time and time again
About growin' up not growin' old (old)
It's not if but when (when)
But nobody knows the plot
All we know is what it's not
And I remember what they told me
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
I figured this whole thing out
I know what it's all about
I read it in a beauty magazine (beauty magazine)
Ooh, pretty is as pretty does (pretty, pretty)
Pretty is what is not was
The beginning, the end
And the in-between (in-between)
Oh
A little black dress is making quite the scene
'Cause that's what she do
Turnin' heads like she's the queen (queen)
But she hasn't got a clue
Nobody told her it won't last
But it's already fading fast
I wonder if she heard the same damn thing as me
(Same damn thing as me)
Oh
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty (don't waste)
Pretty don't waste (don't waste)
Pretty don't waste (don't waste)
Pretty don't waste
Oh, oh, I figured this whole thing out (figured it out)
I know what it's all about
I read it in a beauty magazine (beauty magazine)
Ooh, pretty is as pretty does (pretty, pretty)
Pretty is what is not was
The beginning, the end
And the in-between (in-between)
Oh
Don't waste the pretty
Oh, don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty (don't waste)
(Pretty don't waste, don't waste)
Don't waste the pretty (don't waste)
Pretty don't waste
I had a dream that I was young
