To the naked eye She is beauty wrapped in gold You want to touch To know what someone like her is to hold
Women wish They had just a tiny bit of her beauty Men wish To be her soulmate, a sought after duty
Little do they know Inside she is charred and unable to care Only her face Is the reflection she can bear
She is vain Petty, selfish, ruthless, cold and unwise Beautifully wrapped In something so pleasing to innocent eyes
It's all a game Pretending to be demure and sweet Once she has you She will trample over you with her pretty feet
Fascinating and fine The illusion of exquisite grace Has you tricked You won't find paradise in this face
It's all a ruse To help her on her way to the very top A dazzling lie Beauty on an ugly backdrop
