Only Pretty, What A Pity - Alternate Version

Lyrics
Eyes to look at not to see through She never could see truth for lies With a smile she'd win 'em over Face her 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 in 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 lies 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 Ask the mask of your contentment Or the mask of your despair 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
