Shelly Verden - Really Pretty/Pretty Shitty

Somewhere along the line, I don't remember just when
I gave my heart in a song, and then I gave it again
The music was pretty and the words were alright
It kept me busy in the day, and brought me friends in the night

I put a piece of my heart into every little note
And now it's scattered in the winds, just like the songs that I wrote
And the girls, they don't love me, but I'm sure that they did
Until I ran out of love, and songs were all I could give

And now you're staring me down like you wanna take a bite
Yeah, I'm a little worn down but I can give you a night

Take a piece of my love wrapped in a cute little tune
Yeah you may like it right now but it'll tire out soon
And when the music fades and we're left bitter and cold
You'll find that all I could give has grown a little bit old

Yeah that's the price that you pay to be a muse for my art
You get a really pretty, pretty shitty piece of my heart

Yeah, I could travel the world and find it scattered around
I put my love in the breeze and spoke my heart in the sound
They made seduction my business and my business is good
But in the morning I can't love you in the way that I should

Yeah, you put trouble in my eye and the gutter in my mind
Ooh, when you bite your lip, you know you never looked so fine
And when you get your body rocking, oh the music will flow
The ending's always the same
You're gonna come and I'll go

And now you're staring me down like I'm a four course meal
While trying not to let yourself think of how good it could feel

Keep on fighting the good fight, Mama, don't you be scared
And when you want a little loving, just say when and say where
Just give that look in your eye and I'll know what you mean
We'll be the best thing that your bedroom mirror has ever seen

I'll give you all that I can, but baby, don't be alarmed
If it's a really pretty pretty shitty piece of my heart
