Andrew Mendelson - Pageant Material lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 9.5 Or a 4.0 if you don't even know me Life ain't always roses and pantyhose And... [Chorus] 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 [Intstrumental bridge] [Chorus] I ain't pageant material The only crown is in my gla** 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
