[Verse 1]
Do you know, babe
What it's really like
To do your makeup
And get it just right?
Can you imagine
What we go through
Over and over?
You think you do

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know that these heels been hurting my feet?
Do you know that I always gotta watch what I eat?
Do you know that we gotta sit through 30 hours to get our hair done?
Every day in the mirror before we begin
Gotta put on a girdle to keep it all in
It's a whole lot of work for a girl, but we make it happen

[Chorus]
You can't imagine
All the things that I go through
To make sure you see me in the perfect little way
All the things I do for you
You can't imagine
What it must be like for me (For me)
'Cause it's a man's world
And bein' a girl ain't easy
I stay pretty
Oh-oh
I stay pretty
Whoa, yeah
[Verse 2]
Do you know, babe
What it feels like
To be looked at
But not in your eyes?
Like a beauty pageant
Or a runway
For every girl, everywhere
Each and every day, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know that these heels been hurting my feet?
Do you know that I always gotta watch what I eat? (Yeah)
Do you know that we gotta sit through 30 hours to get our hair done?
Every day in the mirror before we begin
Gotta put on a girdle to keep it all in
It's a whole lot of work for a girl, but we make it happen, yeah

[Chorus]
You can't imagine (You can't imagine)
All the things that I go through (I go through)
To make sure you see me in the perfect little way
All the things I do for you
You can't imagine
What it must be like for me (For me)
'Cause it's a man's world
And bein' a girl ain't easy
I stay pretty
[Bridge]
Beauty is skin deep
Then why do I need
To cover up everything that's true about me?
I wish you didn't care
About the clothes I wear
I gotta make sure that I look real good for you, oh

[Chorus]
You can't imagine (You can't imagine)
All the things that I go through
To make sure you see me in the perfect little way
All the things I do for you
You can't imagine (You can't imagine)
What it must be like for me (For me)
'Cause it's a man's world
And bein' a girl ain't easy, oh
You can't imagine (You can't imagine)
All the things that I go through
To make sure you see me in the perfect little way
All the things I do for you
You can't imagine (No, you can't)
What it must be like for me (Oh-oh)
'Cause it's a man's world
And bein' a girl ain't easy, oh
[Outro]
I stay pretty (Oh-oh, no)
I stay pretty (Oh, no)
I stay pretty (Oh, oh, whoa, oh)
I stay pretty (I stay, I stay)
I stay pretty
