Pretty Girls Lyrics
[Chorus: Both, Iggy Azalea & Britney Spears]
All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise (It's Iggy-Iggs)
We're just so pretty
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want (Where you at, Brit?)
We're just so pretty
[Verse 1: Britney Spears]
Hey, don't you know that it's always the same?
From Australia around to L.A.
You can betcha', wherever the girls go, boys follow
We be keeping them up on their toes
They can laugh, but they don't get the jokes
Set your watch, they're so predictable
(Some things don't change)
[Pre-Chorus: Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea]
The girls roll up (Windows roll down)
Eyes on us (Jaws on the ground)
Watch them go (Wow, it's just so funny)
Like bees to the honey
All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise
We're just so pretty
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want
We're just so pretty
[Verse 2: Britney Spears]
Tell me, is it true that these men are from Mars?
Is that why they be acting bizarre?
Every time I walk out of my house it's like, "Hey, baby!"
They don't see me rolling my eyes
They buzzing around me like flies
They got one thing on their minds
(Some things don't change)
[Pre-Chorus: Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea]
The girls roll up (Windows roll down)
Eyes on us (Jaws on the ground)
Watch them go (It's just so funny)
Like bees to the honey
[Chorus: Both, Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea]
All around the world, pretty girls (Uh-huh)
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise
We're just so pretty
All around the world, pretty girls
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want (Oh yeah)
We're just so pretty (Pretty)
Damn, still killing them softly
I would spend time with you but that'd cost me
They pray that Iggy-Iggy give 'em one more chance
But busy Iggy wouldn't even give 'em one more glance (Ooh)
See, it's a thin line between the beauty and the beast
Slim waist, thick cake, the whole world want a piece
Bad girl, good (Ooh) would make you lose your mind
All of the boys begging Britney, hit 'em one more time, Iggs
[Interlude: Iggy Azalea & Britney Spears]
What's up, Britney? (Uh-huh)
[Chorus: Both, Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea]
All around the world, pretty girls
Wipe the floor with all the boys
Pour the drinks, bring the noise
We're just so pretty (Pretty)
All around the world, pretty girls (Pretty girls)
Jump the line, to the front
Do what we like, get what we want
We're just so pretty

Iggy:
You definitely need a partner to sing (it with). It’s just a lot of fun. It’s a classic, girly (song) you want to scream to each other when you’re getting ready."
Spears on why she chose to work with Iggy:
I had called my manager (Larry Rudolph) and had some ideas about doing a Valley girl-type video. It was really kind of funny, because I had just watched Clueless on TV, and was like, ‘It would be so fun to do something like that.’ Then I saw Iggy’s video, and I thought, ‘Oh my God, to work with her would be heaven sent.’ "

We did “Pretty Girls” for ourselves originally. And then we were like, “Is this a bit much for a girl band to say how pretty they are? Maybe not”. So yeah, it ended up going to Britney Spears, which was kind of our first cut with another artist actually, so that was really big for us.
