And they crawl like rats at your feet
It's a royal congregation and you are the queen
You could cry, your life is so sweet
But forget it, you'll regret it
When the truth becomes the consequences
And life's past you by
Cause it's nice to be pretty
But soon a day will come when you'll see what it's like to be you
When you snap your fingers, you ask and you receive
And it's served up to you on a tray
No time for feeling lonely, you've always got a friend
Who will hang on every word that you say
But forget it, you'll regret it
When reality's imagination
And the truth is a lie
Cause it's nice to be pretty
But soon a day will come when you'll see what it's like to be you
When your looks start to fade
Who will love ya?
When the blond turns to grey
Who will need you?
All that's left will be you
Cause it's nice to be pretty
But soon a day will come when you'll see what it's like to be you
Oh
When you'll see what it's like to be you
Everybody's smiling and waving at you And they crawl like rats at your feet It's a royal congregation and you are the queen You could cry, your life is so sweet But forget it, you'll regret it When the truth becomes the consequences And life's past you by Cause it's nice to be pretty But soon a day will come when you'll see what it's like to be you When you snap your fingers, you ask and you receive And it's served up to you on a tray No time for feeling lonely, you've always got a friend Who will hang on every word that you say But forget it, you'll regret it When reality's imagination And the truth is a lie Cause it's nice to be pretty But soon a day will come when you'll see what it's like to be you When your looks start to fade Who will love ya? When the blond turns to grey Who will need you? All that's left will be you Cause it's nice to be pretty But soon a day will come when you'll see what it's like to be you Oh When you'll see what it's like to be you Explain Request ×
