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