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 [Pre-Chorus] And if I had to walk a runway in high heels In front of the whole town, I'd fall down 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 Miss Congenial Sometimes I talk before I think I've tried 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' [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 Miss Congenial Sometimes I talk before I think I've tried to fake it but I can't, I'd rather lose For what I am than win for what I ain't [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] 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 Miss Congenial Sometimes I talk before I think I've tried 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
