[Verse 1]

Had a feeling, I was feeling alright

But it just happened to be Saturday night

I put my lipstick on a little too bright

Then I took a deep breath and started to drive

They'd let me in without a cover charge

Found my way to the back of the bar

Peeled the corners of a cocktail napkin

Watching everybody smiling, laughing


[Chorus]

I just bought a drink

Downtown all alone

Searching through the names

Getting lost in my cell phone

It ain't pretty

It ain't pretty

When a heart breaks


[Verse 2]

Made my way to the bathroom mirror

Standing next to some girl spilling beer

She didn't notice I was drying my tears

Just look at me now, God, how'd I get here?


[Chorus]

'Cause I just kissed a boy

And I barely even knew his name

I let him take me by the hand

Hold me close while our old song played

It ain't pretty

It ain't pretty

When a heart breaks


[Bridge]

I almost dialed your number

To remind you what you did

But I think it might be better

To just let this night end


[Chorus]

So, I just called a cab

Outside, it's starting to rain

I got my high heels in my hand

Oh, I'm ready for the walk of shame

It ain't pretty

It ain't pretty

It ain't pretty

When a heart breaks


[Outro]

I just bought a drink

It ain't pretty

I just kissed a boy

It ain't pretty

I just called a cab
