Lovin Spoonful - Only Pretty, What a Pity lyrics

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 Only Pretty, what a pity
