[Verse 1]
Pretty woman
Blubbing away
Your features all contorted in despair
Mascara running
Been crying all day
But, deep down, you're delighted
It's unfair

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you got delicious eyes

[Chorus]
Why don't the beautiful cry?
It's only in the movies, it's never in real life
Why don't the beautiful cry?
I wish I wasn't ugly, on the inside

[Verse 2]
I see you looking for something to do
To satisfy some superficial need
To make the world think you're somebody who
Has a heart that might actually bleed

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you told yourself a lie
[Chorus]
Why don't the beautiful cry?
It's only in the movies, it's never in real life
Why don't the beautiful cry?
I wish I wasn't ugly, on the outside
But I am ugly
Oh, yeah

[Solo]
(Ooh, ugly)
(Ooh, ugly)

[Verse 3]
We are all but bubble and squeak
In the frying pan, the frying pan of life

[Chorus]
Why don't the beautiful cry?
It's only in the movies, never in real life
Why don't the beautiful cry?
Even if you kick 'em, poke 'em in the eye
But I am
Ugly
Yes, I am
