[Chorus]
If love is blind
Why do we got to be pretty all the time?
(Girls, girls)

[Verse 1]
You tell me I never smile
You tell me I talk too much
It feels like I'm under fire
It feels like I'm not enough
I won't let you bring me down
Gotta let all of me out
I don't need to look so perfect
To make me feel like I'm worth it now

[Chorus]
If love is blind
Why do we got to be pretty all the time?
(Girls, girls)
If love is blind
Why do we got to be pretty all the time?
(Girls, girls)

[Verse 2]
Don't tell me that I look tired
I'm already in my head
Don't tell me that I look better
With my hair up, dressed up, make-up
Don't need you telling me how
I could look beautiful now
If I live up to your standards
I'll break under the pressure now (Girls!)

[Chorus]
If love is blind
Why do we got to be pretty all the time?
(Girls, girls)
If love is blind
Why do we got to be pretty all the time?
(Girls, girls)

[Bridge]
(You just got to be who you are, that's all you can be)
(You just got to be who you are, that's all you can be)
(You just got to be who you are, that's all you can be)
(You just got to be who you are, that's all you can be)

[Chorus]
If love is blind
Why do we got to be pretty all the time?
(Girls, girls)
If love is blind
Why do we got to be pretty all the time?
(Girls, girls)

[Chorus]
If love is blind
(You just got to be who you are, that's all you can be)
Why do we got to be pretty all the time?
(You just got to be who you are, that's all you can be)
(Girls, girls)
If love is blind
(You just got to be who you are, that's all you can be)
Why do we got to be pretty all the time?
(You just got to be who you are, that's all you can be)
(Girls, girls)

[Outro]
Pretty all the time
(Girls!)

Against the Current is a Pop-Rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, that formed in 2011. It consists of lead singer Chrissy Costanza, guitarist/backing vocalist Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri.

Initally, they began as a cover band, gaining popularity on YouTube. They set to release a debut EP, Infinity and an acoustic EP containing the same songs. After its unexpected success, the band applied the same formula; they released their EP Gravity and they followed it with an acoustic session with the same songs.

Against the Current’s sound fell more on the pop side of the spectrum when they were signed to Fueled By Ramen in 2015 and released their debut full album In Our Bones.
