pretty much Lyrics by MaRynn Taylor
I remember standin’ in the grocery line
Starin’ at the magazine
Wonderin’ if I’d ever see a girl like that lookin’ back at me
Two weeks shy of thirteen
I was holdin’ up a makeup brush
Mama said, “It’s about time you learn what concealer does”
Pretty much since the beginning
Pretty much just wanted to be pretty
But the bar was set so high
For a small-town girl with stars in her eyes
I spent a bunch of money tryna drop a few inches
So I can look like the girls on Pinterest
Pretty much don’t feel like enough
I wish that I did, but I don’t feel pretty much
No, I don’t feel pretty much
I swear every dress I own
Is layin’ on the bedroom floor
Every one that I try on don’t fit like it did before
And I know it ain’t my fault
That I can’t but criticize
Maybe someday I can see myself through twelve-year-old me’s eyes
Pretty much since the beginning
Pretty much just wanted to be pretty
But the bar was set so high
For a small-town girl with stars in her eyes
I spent a bunch of money tryna drop a few inches
So I can look like the girls on Pinterest
Pretty much don’t feel like enough
I wish that I did, but I don’t feel pretty much (No, I don’t feel pretty)
No, I don’t feel pretty (I know I should feel pretty)
Ever since I was young
I’ve been tryin’ to measure up
But pretty is pretty much
Nothin’ like what I thought it was
Pretty much since the beginning
Pretty much just wanted to be pretty
But the bar was set so high
For a small-town girl with stars in her eyes
I spent a bunch of money tryna drop a few inches
So I can look like the girls on Pinterest
Pretty much don’t feel like enough
I wish that I did, but I don’t feel pretty much (No, I don’t feel pretty)
No, I don’t feel pretty, yeah (I know I should feel pretty)
I remember standin’ in the grocery line
Starin’ at the magazine
Wonderin’ if I’d ever see a girl like that lookin’ back at me
