Don't Waste the Pretty

A friend of mine stopped by just the other day
She was in need of a man in the very worst way
She'd been married for many a year
but it ended suddenly
When she caught him cheating with a housewife down the street

She'd been online looking for a sugar daddy
To pay for the life she'd grown accustomed to
She got a lot of dates cause she sure looked great
Wearing that little black mini
But none of them had coughed up the diamond ring

Don't waste the pretty
Nature works real fast
And I can't afford the surgery
To make that pretty last
Don't waste the pretty
It means everything to me
The only way this is gonna work
Is if you'll marry me
Don't waste the pretty

I'm getting older, lines around my eyes
Cellulite is creeping up my thighs
It'll be a few years before I start
Begging for your pity
Meantime, don't waste the pretty
