Beauty Has A Price

I want to be hot toenail to lash
I'm talking blazingly hot
I mean like volcanic ash
I wanna set men on fire and
Make them wild with desire
I wanna dress like a queen
Turn all the other girls green
Please make me a dream, you know the drill
Make me like everyone else
Only a lot better still
Just like that goddess from Greece, you know
Who launched all the ships
So when men stare in my eyes
It's like a solar еclipse

I know what you're wishing for
Beauty has a pricе
It's well worth the squishing
For corsets are a vice don't think twice
In a trice you get what you wished for
Buckle up, don't forget, beauty isn't cheap
It can cost you all you
Own and your beauty sleep
But forewarned and adorned
I will grant your wishes

I need a new look to be erased
A lotta flash and some glitz with
Just a smidgeon of taste
A sexy blonde or brunette
Someone that I've never met
Let's go for way OTT, I wanna disappear me

I can take care of this, let me first explain
Get a metamorphosis, beauty equals pain
Redesigned and refined
You won't recognize you

It all sounds a little extreme

Is this really what you want to look
Like for the rest of your life?

No

I'll make you beautiful and
It's worth the price
It's worth all you'll ever own
Any sacrifice so my child, let's go wild
You shall go with bells on
There is no magic, it's not supernatural
You will see beauty is brutal
Cold cremes and pumices, skin peels
Astringents
And tight-fitting garments that bind
You and pinch you
And make your extremities numb

I do miracles, you want some curves?
Let's break a rib or two
If unafraid to chance it
A surgeon with a lancet
Can bring about what you're wishing for
Though results are not guaranteed
I can achieve what you're fishing for
Though you're guaranteed to bleed
Slim her down, shape her up
Beauty has a cost we may need to tape her up
But not all is lost
With some glue, staples too
It will do 'til midnight
Let's skip surgery, we haven't time
I tried something less extreme
But come a little nearer and
Look into the mirror
This, I believe's what you're wishing for

Who's that ravishing
Head turning girl that I don't recognize
And can it really be that she is really me?

Why did I spend so long resisting
This? I look so much better

Now put these shoes on
They're made of solid crystal so
Don't be surprised if
They cut into the skin the teensiest bit

Glittering, glamorous

God, these shoes are tight

He'll be feeling amorous
Spellbound at first sight

I'm so fine, it's a sign
He'll be mine by midnight

But my pet, don't forget, beauty has a price
You will be in agony, let me be precise
In this frock, by twelve o'clock
You will be in torment
Go ahead, knock him dead
Just be home by midnight

Look at me Cinderella I'm on fire after all
There's a boy I've set my sight on
Could it be Cinderella will be
Belle of the ball
And I'll gladly dance the night on
Leave a light on

Like I said, knock 'em dead
Beauty has a price
Just be home by twelve in bed
Better yet on ice
In those shoes, she will bruise
Best be home by midnight
Best be home by midnight
