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 Oooooooh When you'll see what it's like to be you
