The Northern Pikes - She Ain't Pretty lyrics

I had two jobs, I had dishwater hands And on the weekend in a rock and roll band One Friday night, in my hometown bar In walked a girl who looked like a movie star She stared at me and it was turning me on She said she worked in a beauty salon I heard a voice inside me say She ain't pretty, she just looks that way We made a date to go for a drink I wore my jeans and she wore a mink There was this misconception all over town That she ate lonely guy heart by the pound She said, "Take me home, there won't be no fuss" I said, "Sure, you got some change for the bus?" Watching her leave, I heard the bartender say She ain't pretty she just looks that way So, uh, I called her up, her father was home Said, "She's busy, she can't come to the phone" I held my breath and decided to wait A guy like me doesn't get many dates I fell in love with a model from hell It took some time for my hormones to tell That chasing her has been a grave mistake She ain't pretty she just looks that way Her ego wrote cheques incredibly fast But her personality didn't have the cash I laughed out loud to my total dismay She ain't pretty she just looks that way She ain't pretty she just looks that way She ain't pretty She ain't pretty She ain't pretty She ain't pretty she just looks that way
