Tiny hands on a lipstick case
I'd watch my mama paint her face
Just like she did every day
And I'd watch her wipe the tears away

My daddy, he'd go off to work
Yeah, almost like he wasn't rehearsed
From time to time he'd twirl me round
But he always let my mama down

I learned early and I learned hard
What to do when love leaves scars
You just stay pretty
Then if you feel ugly in that heart, don't worry
Mary Kay & Maybelline covers up everything

Well, you grow up and you take his hand
Put all your trust in that man
Till you find some pain of your own
And you touch it up with he ain't home

I learned early and I learned hard
What to do when love leaves scars
You just stay pretty
Then if you feel ugly in that heart, don't worry
Mary Kay & Maybelline covers up everything
Mary Kay & Maybelline covers up everything
Well, you make a choice 'cause you gotta choose
When it comes down to him or you
I wouldn't go digging up the truth
'Cause a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do

I learned early and I learned hard
What to do when love leaves scars
You just stay pretty
Then if you feel ugly in that heart, don't worry
Mary Kay & Maybelline covers up everything
Yeah, Mary Kay & Maybelline cover up everything
