The Lovin' Spoonful - Only Pretty, What A Pity Lyrics
Eyes to look at,not to see throughShe never could see truth for liesWith a smile she'd win em overHer face a trick to take a prizeTickled pinkThe mid aged dandySold his horse to buy her all the Icing for her face like candyHung up the mirrors wall to wallMarried life was short but funnyWith long lost cousins dropping byLater on her alimonyPaid for young men's gentle sighsBy the window hangs a mirrorwhere she hides her sagging chin Now sadly as she crouches nearerNever seeing past her skinMommy saidWhen you were youngerThe face you made would stay that wayThat's all true and if you doubt itReflect upon yourself todayEveryone except the babyAnswers for the face they wearIt's the mast of your contentmentOr the mask of your despairOnly Pretty,What a pityOnly Pretty,What a pity
