Текст песни The Lovin' Spoonful - Only Pretty, What A Pity (Everything Playing 1968)

Only Pretty, What a Pity Lyrics[Verse 1]
Eyes to look at, not to see through
She never could see truth for lies
With a smile she'd win 'em over
Face a trick to take a prize

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Married life was short but funny
With long-lost cousins dropping by
Later on her alimony
Paid for young men's gentle lies

[Chorus]
By the window hangs a mirror
Where she hides her sagging chin
Now sadly as she crouches nearer
Never seeing past her skin

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Everyone except the baby
Answers for the face they wear
That's the mask of your contentment
Or the mask of your despair

[Outro]
Only pretty, what a pity
Only pretty, what a pity
Only pretty, what a pity
Only pretty, what a pity
Only pretty, what a pity
Only pretty, what a pity
Only pretty, what a pity
Only pretty, what a pity
Only pretty, what a pity
