You tell all the sweet smiling children
About that one great pink candy love
That's waiting somewhere in the dark
To change our lives and make us all worthwhile
But we already are, you just don't know it

You tell all the sweet smiling children
That you need your fine hairsprays and combs
Lipsticks, perfumes, fine cars and homes
So that when we find that love it will be true
But is already is, we just don't know it

Yeah, then you watch all those sweet smiling children
Stumble in the darkness you have made
Looking for the dream that's never quite there
And cry cause we can't win the games we play
Ah but you sell a lot of hairspray that way, don't you?
