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
