Lady A

Lyrics to It Ain't Pretty

[Verse 1]

Had a feeling, I was feeling alright

But it just happened to be Saturday night

I put my lipstick on a little too bright

Then I took a deep breath and started to drive

They'd let me in without a cover charge

Found my way to the back of the bar

Peeled the corners of a cocktail napkin

Watching everybody smilin', laughin'



[Chorus]

I just bought a drink

Downtown all alone

Searching through the names

Getting lost in my cell phone

It ain't pretty, it ain't pretty

When a heart breaks



[Verse 2]

Made my way to the bathroom mirror

Standing next to some girl spilling beer

She didn't notice I was drying my tears

Just look at me now, God, how'd I get here?



[Chorus 2]

'Cause I just kissed a boy

And I barely even knew his name

I let him take me by the hand

Hold me close while our old song played

It ain't pretty, it ain't pretty

When a heart breaks



[Verse 3]

I almost dialed your number

To remind you what you did

But I think it might be better

To just let this night end



[Chorus]

So, I just called a cab

Outside it's starting to rain

I got my high heels in my hand

Oh, I'm ready for the walk of shame

It ain't pretty, it ain't pretty

It ain't pretty

When a heart breaks



[Outro]

I just bought a drink, it ain't pretty

I just kissed a boy, it ain't pretty

I just called a cab
