Lovin' Spoonful

Lovin' Spoonful - Only Pretty ,What a Pity lyrics

rate me

Eyes to look at, not to see through

She never could see truth for lies

With a smile she'd win us 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 eyes

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

As the map of pure contentment

Or the mask of pure despair

Only Pretty, What a Pity
