Skin Deep

Skin Deep

Isn’t it a funny world?
And getting stranger every day.
I mean, there’s all these ‘pumped up’ beauties
whose partners play away.

Especially Celebrities,
talk about guilding the lily!
They all start out as pretty girls
but then make themselves look silly!

Now don’t get me wrong I have standards
and wouldn’t go on the town in ‘me scruff’
But to fill yourself full of botox,
well at that point enough is enough!

When your lips resemble a blowfish
and your eyebrows arch as in shock,
when your dress sense looks like you’re turnin’ a trick
when you’re trying to turn back the clock.

Ask yourself girl why do you do it?
Is it to keep your man?
Well it seems that just doesn’t cut it babe
because there’s plenty of us plain birds who can!
