Pretty Fades

Oh-oh

Uh, uh

Hey, little lover, do you see me?

Oh, I really care what you think

All dressed up and it’s all for show

Gotta play the part just so you

Notice me, baby, it’s what you like

Lipstick ready, painted eyes

Oh, I got your focus just for now

But I know it’ll leave when it all fades out

When it all fades out

Gotta have it

Think I need it

'Cause I want it

But hold up, wait

When I’m looking in the mirror

Gotta tell myself that the pretty fades

When I’m older

And I wake up

With no makeup

And my body changed

Will he tell me that I’m perfect?

I want someone when the pretty fades

(When the pretty fades)

(When the pretty fades)

Hey, television, can’t think straight

Got me believing that I can’t age

Try to convince but I know the truth

There’s something more beautiful than my youth

Hey, little darling, dry your tears

Don’t be scared of another year

Soon we’ll be laughing at our old mistakes

Loving every line on our wrinkled face

And it's all okay

Gotta have it

Think I need it

'Cause I want it

But hold up, wait

When I’m looking in the mirror

Gotta tell myself that the pretty fades

When I’m older

And I wake up

With no makeup

And my body changed

Will he tell me that I’m perfect?

I want someone when the pretty fades

(When the pretty fades)

(When the pretty fades)

All that’s left will be hiding underneath

(When the pretty, when the pretty, pretty fades) Oh

Just want somebody to love all of me

(When the pretty, when the pretty, pretty fades)

Uh-uh, uh-uh

Oh-ooh-uh

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh

When the pretty fades

Gotta have it (Oh)

Think I need it (Think I need it)

'Cause I want it

But hold up, wait

When I’m looking in the mirror

Gotta tell myself that the pretty fades

When I’m older (When I'm older)

And I wake up (And I wake up)

With no makeup (Ooh)

And my body changed

Will you tell me that I’m perfect?

I want someone when the pretty fades

Will you love me?

Will you love me, yeah

When the pretty fades?
