Lyrics

[Intro]

Ooh

Ooh-ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh

Let me tell you somethin' true

[Verse 1]

I remember, uh, back when I was six years old, uh

Daddy said, "The world's so cold

There is somethin' that you should know"

Uh

"You're so gorgeous," thank you, Daddy

"Nothing's really worth your time

But someday soon, you just might find

The truth about the world's design," oh

[Chorus]

To be beautiful is to be hunted

I can't change the truth

I can't get you used to this

No, no, no, no, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

To be beautiful is to be hunted

I can't change the truth

I can't get you used to this

Oh, no, no

Ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]

Now remember, uh

You do what the hell you want, uh

But someone's gonna smell yo' funk

You're exactly what they want

Truth

To be happy

Really means that someone else ain't

And balance ain't a one-food plate

Everything is give and take, oh, oh

[Chorus]

To be beautiful is to be hunted

I can't change the truth

I can't get you used to this

Oh, oh, yeah

Oh yeah

To be beautiful is to be hunted

I can't change the truth

I can't get you used to this

Oh, no-no

[PostChorus]

Gon', do it like this, okay (Woo)

Shoulder shake, yeah

Oh, oh

Do it in and out

Nah-nah-nah-nah

Aye, aye, uh, ooh

[Chorus]

To be beautiful is to be hunted

I can't change the truth

I can't get you used to this

Can't get you used to this

No, no, no, no

To be beautiful is to be hunted (I can't, I know)

I can't change the truth (I said)

I can't get you used to this

Ooh

Give it to me now

Bring the strings back, uh

[Outro]

To be beautiful is to be hunted

We are beautiful, yeah

That's so beautiful

That's so beautiful, uh
