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

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

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

She is your waitress
She is your judge
She is your teacher
She is every woman in the world

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

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 no she's not just a pretty face
She's got everything it takes
She's not just a pretty face
She's got everything it takes
She's not just a pretty face
