"She is your waitress...she is your judge"
 
~Shania Twain
 

She's Not Just a Pretty Face

Written by:  Shania Twain / R. J. Lange

 

 

(Oh na, na, na)

 

She hosts a T.V. show -she rides the rodeo

She plays the bass in a band

She's an astronaut -

a valet at the parking lot

A farmer working the land

She is a champion -she gets the gold

She's a ballerina -the star of the show

 

[Chorus]

She's - not- just a pretty face

She's -got- everything it takes

 

She has a fashion line-

a journalist for "Time"

Coaches a football team

She's a geologist- a romance novelist

She is a mother of three

She is a soldier -she is a wife

She is a surgeon- she'll save your life

 

[Second Chorus]

She's-  not- just a pretty face

She's- got- everything it takes

She's- mother of the human race

She's- not- just a pretty face

 

Oh, oh, yeah

Oh na, na, na, na....

She is your waitress- she is your judge-

she is your teacher

She is every woman in the world

 

Oh, la, la, la

She flies an airplane-

she drives a subway train

At night she pumps gasoline

She's on the council -she's on the board

She's a politician- she praises the lord

 

[Repeat Second Chorus]

 

No, she's (she's) not (not)-

just a pretty face

She's (she's) got (got)- everything it takes

She's- not- just a pretty face

She's got everything it takes

She's not just a pretty face

BILLBOARD REVIEW:
 

We've definately heard this type of Shania Twain ultra-lightweight country-girl power anthem before. It's all about ear candy here, from the spiritless fiddle licks and steel of the intro to Twain's admittedly well-rendered "Oh, na, na, na" that gets things started. Lyrically, it's so much what you would expect, like Helen Reddy for a new generation: "She's a soldier-she is a wife/she is a surgeon she'll save your life/she's not just a pretty face."  Gee, women can do a lot of different things, alert the media. Still, the song is exquisite country pop with an endearing Twain vocal that owns more heart than the song deserves.  As always, collaborator/husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange never met a hook he didn't like, with neat sonic tricks and instrumental breaks around every corner. In the past, one might expect a meteoric rise up the charts with fare such as this, but Twain has found the footing tougher this go-round......And besides, exactly which choir is she preaching to?
