Pretty Does It Songtext
von Somebody’s Darling

In the front of the mirror,
Her new lipstick on
-The one that would change her whole life
The merciless truth staring her in the face
Her reflection is twisting the knife -
That′s been stuck in her heart
Since she was a girl
And learned that she'd have more love
If she had only had curls

Behind drawn curtains and a bolted door
She is crying in front of the mirror
Despite the bright light all she sees
Of her sombre face is a soft blur
Cursing her size
And those eyes that make her look sad
Her heart weighted down by the love
She never had


She′s been buying potions and creams
She's read about in magazines
They've been keeping her with dreams
Every night she sings her heart out
Touching theirs with her song
But at the end of the night
She′ll walk home alone

She turns off the light
And steps into the shower
Tries to wash off her shame
She′d hoped for awhile that her daddy
Was right
She learned the hard way
In her heart there's no doubt -

No need to discuss it
It ain′t good nor wise - even easy
It's pretty that does it

She′s been buying potions and creams
She's read about in magazines
They′ve been keeping her with dreams
Every night she sings her heart out
Touching theirs with her song
But at the end of the night
She'll walk home alone
When the night is over
She'll be alone
