I Like Shiny Things - Paper Rings | English Song

Pretty shiny things Mama loves pretty shiny things As long as they look good on the outside They better look good on the outside Pretty shiny things I'm one of her pretty shiny things She says there ain't no secret you can't hide Bottle it up on the inside Put your makeup on, girl Stand up straight Your face will take you farther than your brain You oughta know by now, beauty is pain Pretty shiny things Mama keeps her pretty shiny things Hidden in a dresser drawer Orange bottles from the corner store One to help her sleep The other ones are red, and blue, and pink It's a colorful cocktail You could ask her but she'll never tell Put your makeup on, girl Stand up straight Your face will take you farther than your brain You oughta know by now, beauty is pain Pretty shiny things are gonna collect dust Pretty shiny things, I swear that there's more to us Take your makeup off, girl Hold your head high Let your guard down Don't be scared to cry Ain't nothing pretty 'bout a perfect life
