mary kay & maybelline

Singer:wilson, gretchen

tiny hands on a lipstick case

i'd watch my mamma 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 it was rehearsed

from time to time he'd twirl me round

but he always let my momma down

i learned early and i learned hard

what to do when love leaves scars

you just stay pretty even if you feel ugly in the heart

don't worry

mary kay and maybelline covers up everything

well you grow up and you take his hand

you 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 even if you feel ugly in the heart

don't worry

mary kay and maybelline covers up everything

mary kay and 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 even if you feel ugly in the heart

don't worry

mary kay and maybelline covers up everything

yeah

mary kay and maybelline'll cover up everything
