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 |
