Try not to look so pretty The next time that we meet Please don't look so pretty And I won't act so weak Please don't look so pretty You're lovely but it's just cruel Try not to look so pretty And I'll try not to be your fool You walk in and steal my mind But who gave you the right To treat me like some useless thought You know away each night Please don't look so pretty You're lovely but it's just cruel Try not to look so pretty And I'll try not to be your fool You make it hard on me But I'll try to pretend That you're just a lovesick dream That always has to end Please don't look so pretty You're lovely but it's just cruel Try not to look so pretty And I'll try not to be your fool
