## Lyrics

**[Sample: Sweetie Belle]**
"We're gonna have the bestest time two sisters could ever have! This needs something..."

**[Verse 1]**
All alone, parents gone, and there's nothing to do
Trying hard just to start making breakfast for you
She's working hard just to try to change your mind
Hoping now is the time you'll realize
That it's you, Rarity, she'll idolize

**[Pre-Chorus]**
You know she'll do just about anything for you now
'find a way to have a say in what you both do now
So find a way to make her day, you know you have the power

**[Sample: Rarity]**
"Huh. Stay out of trouble, okay?"

**[Chorus]**
Let your pride go, girl, as you take the floor
It's raining; let your mane hang down now
You know now Sweetie Belle matters more
So lady, let your mane hang down now
It shouldn't matter what you wanted before
Just go on curing your sister's frown
Just let your mane down; open the door
You know Sweetie Belle matters more

**[Sample: Rarity]**
"...make me look so bad?"

**[Verse 2]**
Let it go as you show the world what you do
We all know that this foal means the world to you
You're working hard just to try to change her mind
Hoping now is the time she'll realize
Just how much you need her in your life

**[Pre-Chorus]**
So mark your pace and run the race under your disguise
You'll win her faith and make her day when you're recognized
And realize that two sisters are like apple pies

**[Sample: Rarity]**
"I must create!"

**[Chorus]**
Let your pride go, girl, as you take the floor
It's raining; let your mane hang down now
You know now Sweetie Belle matters more
So lady, let your mane hang down now
It shouldn't matter what you wanted before
Just go on curing your sister's frown
Just let your mane down; open the door
You know Sweetie Belle matters more

**[Sample: Rarity]**
"And now I have to start from scratch!"

**[Break]**

**[Chorus]**
Let your pride go, girl, as you take the floor
It's raining; let your mane hang down now
You know now Sweetie Belle matters more
So lady, let your mane hang down now
It shouldn't matter what you wanted before
Just go on curing your sister's frown
Just let your mane down; open the door
You know Sweetie Belle matters more

## Replacer version

On February 29, 2012, New Zealander musician Replacer released a cover version of "Let Your Mane Down" on YouTube and as a single, to celebrate his 1000 YouTube subscribers milestone. A remastered version was later included on his compilation album *A Flash of Colour (2011-2014 remastered)*.

This version has a more "organic", melodic and less electronic sound to it, making use of piano and acoustic guitar, incorporating tints of jazz and funk, as well as a keyboard solo. It also eliminates the usage of samples from the "Sisterhooves Social" episode.

Replacer's cover remains as the most popular and favourite version of the song among bronies.
