You look around at all the ugly old faces
They ain't got no fancy airs and graces
When it comes to their fashion sense
They are clueless as they are dense
No, no, no, no not like you
No, no, no, no not like
Got funny old dudes in their funky jeans
Got no idea what haute couture means
Got funny old ladies with their eighties hair
A tire round the middle with room to spare
No, no, no, no not like you
No, no, no, no not like
Must be a pain in the butt to be beautiful
A big ol' punch in the gut to be beautiful
You are aghast by every single fashion no-no
Guys with bad 'stashes looking like Sonny Bono
Gals in slacks bought in second-hand shops
Slacks that show off their blooming muffin tops
No, no, no, no not like you
No, no, no, no not like
Are you the only one who really gets it
Like a glove your beauty fits it
Everyone stares when you enter a room
They light up at the scent of your sweet perfume
Yeah, yeah, yeah just like you
Yeah, yeah, yeah just like
Must be tres difficile to be beautiful
The world slightly surreal to be beautiful
How bad we wanna be like you
How bad we wanna live like you
How bad we wanna dress like you
How bad, how bad, how bad
