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?
