Shades of White - Vanity Lyrics

This pretty face of mine I see
In the mirror each day, it impresses me
It's natural grace, integrity
Should be in the magazines and on the TV screens

Oh, what beauty
Every artist in the land
Should be trying to take my hand
To encapsulate this state

This body toned, perfected rolls
Unachievable for those to aspire to
This gorgeous hair oh so natural
Could wake Vidal Sassoon from his slumbered state

Oh, what beauty
This camera cannot capture its prey
It's a revelation
To see such desecration
This digital disaster is fake

Accentuated love for me
A thousand eyes look up to see
Adulation, come what may
I'm told that I'm the best
I'm still that girl who lived next door
My friends are still the same from school
My vanity is just an act
This diva things is full of cracks
Inside, I'm still me

Critical acclaim is what I'm due
My adoring entourage keep telling me
I'm climbing, I'm fighting to make it to the top
So the whole world can walk within my light

Oh, the pleasure is all mine
No thanks are needed from
You, my guardians
You, my protection
From everything reality based

Accentuated love for me
A thousand eyes look up to see
Adulation, come what may
I'm told that I'm the best
I'm still that girl who lived next door
My friends are still the same from school
My vanity is just an act
This diva things is full of cracks
Inside, I'm still me
Oh, who have I become
This monster making machine of frivolity
Of self obsessed dishonesty
Recycled from the ashes of bland

Disingenuous love for me
A thousand eyes look up to see
Another star, come what may
They're told that they're the best
They look like someone from next door
They're fresh and young, just out of school
This vanity, it is an act
The diva is here to stay

Accentuated love for me
A thousand eyes look up to see
Adulation, come what may
I'm told that I'm the best
I'm still that girl who lived next door
My friends are still the same from school
My vanity is just an act
This diva things is full of cracks
Inside, I'm still me
