Allison Iraheta - Don't Waste The Pretty Lyrics






Dust it off, break it down
Get to what we're talking about
Do what we're talking about
Don't try and hide it now
Why keep on working it out?
You can't keep working it out

'cause I see how it's putting you down
I just can't be around
What you doing this for?
'cause the light in you's starting to fade
Don't let it get away
'cause you're worth so much more

Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take
Don't give it away (don't give it away)
So don't waste the pretty on life
'cause soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you gotta see
Don't waste the pretty, eh eh

Sit back and breathe it in
Look at how lucky we are
Look at how lucky we are
This life we're living in
You gotta follow your heart
You know I'm never too far

Away from the pain in your eyes
I can see your disguise
But it's not too late (it's not too late)
'cause I know you can turn this around
Don't be scared, work it out
Listen when I say (listen when I say)

Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take
Don't give it away (don't give it away)
Don't waste the pretty on life
'cause soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you gotta see
Don't waste the pretty

And just in case you need reminding
Well, you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
And there ain't no use in you hiding
'cause you're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful

Don't waste the pretty on him (him)
Don't waste the pretty on pain (pain)
When it gets too much to take
Don't give it away (don't give it away)
Don't waste the pretty on life
'cause soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you gotta see
Don't waste the pretty, eh eh

Don't waste the pretty, don't waste the pretty
Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty, don't waste the pretty
'cause you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Don't waste the pretty, don't waste the pretty
Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty
Don't, don't, don't waste the pretty
Don't waste the pretty, don't waste the pretty

    gosh i love this kinda singer.it's totally what music is all about.good voice.amazing songs.not the kind where you tell others you can't be tamed

  45. N.... W....

    i love this song, it gives me chills every time i hear it :):):):)

  46. n.... ....

    @detectivedave yeah, i see that one too. this song obviously not very original. i guess they could say its um, "very inspired" by other songs... but a lot of artists do it i suppose. what are you gonna do? easy marketability. i'm sure she'll fade out fast.

  47. e.... ....

    @Xtina4evahLegend Ohhh God! good for her....................thanks for the info

  48. e.... ....

    o my god i am in love with her hair as much as her singing!!!

  50. N.... W....

    amazing song, love you <3<3<3<3

  51. n.... ....

    this song is a TOTAL RIPOFF. it's "freedom" from george michael. go youtube it back to back, you'll see. friend of mine saw it on "so you think you can dance" and he goes "man, i know this song..." and yeah, it's b/c it's a ripoff.

    sad too b/c all the younger people dont see it and prolly see this song as "fresh, new and innovative" just another unoriginal "artist" sorry, but you can't deny its a total copy. a bad one at that...

  52. R.... ....

    Love her. :D

  53. J.... B....

    been a fan since ai...she has lots n lots of talent...definitely another musicangel!!!

  54. B.... H....

  63. C.... R....

  64. m.... ....

  65. T.... ....

    @PessimisticHippie dont waste the pretty on him, dont waste the pretty on pain

  69. T.... ....

    @PessimisticHippie on pain

  70. K.... ....

    what does it say in that one part 'dont waste the pretty in him dont waste the pretty on (blank) what does it say???

  71. B.... M....

    really?? i feel the opposite. i think it is because i was so fixated on adam during the show everyone else got pushed aside lol... she is amazing though!! one of the best to ever come off american idol!

  72. M.... ....

    This song reminds me a lot of "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield. Still awesome! <3

  73. M.... P....

    To be more precise, Allison is 17, will turn 18 in a few months, on April 27.

  74. M.... P....

    I didn't say anything bad about Kris and Adam, just that she should've been first to me =)

  75. M.... P....

    She should've been first.

  76. M.... P....

    Why are you talking about Adam Lambert in an Allison video? Go talk about him in his videos, this is for Allison.

  77. D.... M....

    ...now, to not further waste my time on worthless loser TWITS like your laughably arrogant ass (do i REALLY look anywhere NEAR as sad as YOU and look like i REQUIRE attention for trying to make LAME EXCUSES for a LAME "musician" like you are doing right now? hmmmm... nope!), let me get back to my WIFE. you know... what you'll never be because you are 15 and still haven't had 1 boyfriend yet because none of them like your ugly, sorry, lame, dorky ass. LOL

    one LAST time: "get over yourselves".

  78. D.... M....

    homophobia? LMAO! of course you IDIOTS that have nothing else new to say or think cry "HOMOPHOBE" when someone talks about how much Adam Queerbert SUCKS. if you could READ, you'd SEE how i talk UP Elton John for the ARTIST he is and talk DOWN Adam's BITCH ass for the overrated commercial tool he is. it's simple, but obviously too complex for you.

  79. D.... M....

    go crush on another goofy queer already, or someone else you'll "dream of" but will never have w/ your little moron friends, and leave the commenting to those who KNOW about music instead of people who are stupid enough to add Britney freakin' Spears, the joke THAT "Queen of Immature American Jackass Cunts" is, as a "favorite".

    in short; quit embarrassing yourselves & just get over yourselves. you don't know shit. deal with it.

    byebye now, kiddos; take care and GOOD LUCK. you need it.

  80. D.... M....

    LOL THANKS! :-) ...and your lack of pretty much EVERYTHING is about as impressive as... well; i can't really think of anything that boring right now, other than seeing the predictable Adam Fruitbert, but i easily hit the nail on the head w/ you quicker than the other twit joke.

    "DIAF"... *yawn*

    i just really feel sorry for you idiots, and would rather just dog your stupidity out for laughs. your parents would slap the tacky crap out of your head if they had any sense.

  81. D.... M....

    in his bedroom; he CLEARLY "sucks", btw. we couldn't stand a minute of his laughable stage sissiness, too bad your taste hasn't developed, like the rest of you; but you'll see wtf is up in some years, when you grow a little bit more hair on your... well; let's not talk about THAT useless thing you have. LOL@U IDIOTS!

  82. G.... ....

    T&%$#*! people go buy her album!!!!

  83. Y.... ....

    ughhh,,,, shut up!

  84. S.... ....

    oh, i see...;)

  85. X.... ....

    wadafak adam doesnt go with any girls..

  86. G.... ....

    yeah! allison was 4th,, danny was 3rd,,,idk,,,ppl maybe lost their minds..or forgot it...but anyways...all the top 4 the soo good...the best!!!!!!
    ALLISON AND ADAM R THE BEST!

  87. G.... ....

    lool i know!!!! how i couldnt know?!? lol
    i ment adam&allison=ADISON!

  88. S.... ....

    @superstar7soso it's allison not adison...

  89. S.... ....

    @MattGiraudFan4Life Danny was 3rd, because I remember the commercials saying how it was down to the final three and they were all guys...

  90. D.... M....

    AGREED; and nothing but ironic and funny to us that people are now seeing the difference between TALENTED ARTISTS like Kris and Allison and tacky, overrated, shallow "record-sellers" like Lambert. we knew he was gay from the get-go and didn't care. so what. Elton John is gay as GAY can be and he's the SHIT. it is the fact that Lambert just SUCKS that made us not like him.

  91. B.... R....

    I know the girl who sang back-up for this song so it is therefore awesome. Everyone must rate it 5 stars.

    Go.

  92. G.... ....

    ur informations are wrong!! danny was the third place finisher not fourth!! allison was the 4th!! but it doesnt matter now..the top 4 are amazing singers and will gonna be very.very famous!! good luck to all of them!!
    btw ADISON I LOVE U S MUCH!!!

  93. G.... ....

    yow..ppl..it isnt nice to talk about danny like that..he is a great person..and thats all the ,matters..u also got an amazing voice..but we just dont like the genre of his music..thats all... so dont talk like that,please.. :) anyways..i love allison ...she is naturally gifted young girl i love her new album!!

  94. M.... J....

    I like it!!

  95. S.... ....

    I love how people talk about Allison, Adam, and Kris, but not Danny (3rd place person). He's coming out with a country album (not my fave genre) next year.

  96. J.... M....

    wow im surprised this video didnt get alot of reviews she has an amazing voice and more people should hear
