I Am Pretty lyrics

She woke up one Sunday morning
She said a prayer and asked for strength
She put her makeup on just perfect
For the first time in a long time
The mirror showed her grace

She heard him stirring in the kitchen
Last night`s whiskey in the air
She could hear him carryin` on and cussin`
Then the woman in the mirror said
You gotta get outta here

`Cause you`ve been broken down and kicked around
One too many times
You finally found the strength
And he ain`t gonna break my faith
She said I might go back to school
I know you take me for a fool
Despite what you say
Something occured to me today
Guess what, I am pretty

He took a drag off his cigarette
That patronizing look on his face
And he said `Ah, Here we go again
Got that little suitcase in your hand
Let me guess, you`re gonna find your dreams today`
And she said, you know, I just might but either way
I`m gonna get out, I`m gonna get out of this
God-forsaken place

`Cause you`ve been broken down and kicked around
One too many times
You finally found the strength
And he ain`t gonna break my faith
She said I might go back to school
I know you take me for a fool
Despite what you say
Something occured to me today

`Cause I`ve been broken down and kicked around
One too many times
Despite what you say
Something occured to me today
I am pretty
I am pretty
I am pretty
