Lyrics

0:00There's certain things you're s'posed to know
0:03When you're a girl who grows up in the south
0:08I try to use my common sense
0:11But my foot always ends up in my mouth
0:16And if I had to walk a runway in high heels
0:19In front of the whole town
0:20I'd fall down
0:23And my mama cried
0:26When she realized
0:28I ain't pageant material
0:33I'm always higher than my hair
0:36And it ain't that I don't care about world peace
0:39But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage
0:46I ain't exactly ms congenial
0:51Sometimes I talk before I think I try to fake it but I can't
0:56I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
1:04God bless the girls who smile and hug
1:07When they're called out as a runner up on tv
1:12I wish I could but I just can't
1:15Wear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm feelin'
1:20And who's to say I'm a 95
1:22Or a 40 if you don't even know me
1:27Life ain't always roses and pantyhose
1:32And
1:32I ain't pageant material
1:37I'm always higher than my hair
1:40And it ain't that I don't care about world peace
1:43But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage
1:49I ain't exactly ms congenial
1:54Sometimes I talk before I think I try to fake it but I can't
2:00I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
2:25I ain't pageant material
2:30The only crown is in my glass
2:33They won't be handin' me a sash
2:35And that's okay cause there's no way
2:38You'll ever see me in a swimsuit on a stage
2:43I ain't exactly ms congenial
2:48Sometimes I talk before I think I try to fake it but I can't
2:53I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
3:01Yeah I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
There's certain things you're s'posed to know
When you're a girl who grows up in the south
I try to use my common sense
But my foot always ends up in my mouth
And if I had to walk a runway in high heels
In front of the whole town
I'd fall down
And my mama cried
When she realized
I ain't pageant material
I'm always higher than my hair
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage
I ain't exactly ms congenial
Sometimes I talk before I think I try to fake it but I can't
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
God bless the girls who smile and hug
When they're called out as a runner up on tv
I wish I could but I just can't
Wear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm feelin'
And who's to say I'm a 95
Or a 40 if you don't even know me
Life ain't always roses and pantyhose
And
I ain't pageant material
I'm always higher than my hair
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage
I ain't exactly ms congenial
Sometimes I talk before I think I try to fake it but I can't
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
I ain't pageant material
The only crown is in my glass
They won't be handin' me a sash
And that's okay cause there's no way
You'll ever see me in a swimsuit on a stage
I ain't exactly ms congenial
Sometimes I talk before I think I try to fake it but I can't
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
Yeah I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
