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 ain't enough to 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 a blinder eyes could only reveal
That 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 a blinder eyes could only reveal
That 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 a blinder eyes could only reveal
That she's not pretty, she's not ugly
She's not ugly, no
