Only Pretty, What a Pity |
Eyes to look at, not to see through |
She never could see truth for lies |
With a smile she’d win em over |
Her face a trick to take a prize |
Tickled pink |
The mid aged dandy |
Sold his horse to buy her all the |
Icing for her face like candy |
Hung up the mirrors wall to wall |
Married life was short but funny |
With long lost cousins dropping by Later on her alimony |
Paid for young men’s gentle sighs |
By the window hangs a mirror |
where she hides her sagging chin |
Now sadly as she crouches nearer |
Never seeing past her skin |
Mommy said |
When you were younger |
The face you made would stay that way |
That’s all true and if you doubt it Reflect upon yourself today |
Everyone except the baby |
Answers for the face they wear |
It’s the mast of your contentment |
Or the mask of your despair |
Only Pretty, What a pity |
Only Pretty, What a pity |
