Lovin Spoonful lyrics : "Only Pretty ,What a Pity"

Featuring: Joe Butler
Jerry Yester


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

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 a mast of pure contentment

Or the mask of pure despair

Only Pretty, What a Pity
