You're looking pretty rough and I'm not surprised
I can see the nights have taken their toll on your eyes
You've got a bottle in you hand
And your mates are stood round cheering, whos leering at you now?
You make them laugh, yeah tonight your on fire
And she looks on with sexual desire,
But who's gonna want you now as break of day is dawning?
You're all cringing in the morning
When your photos are tagged from last night
And you say "take that one off I look shite"
But you know you don't, you think that you look stunning
But I think your times running out
And you need to decide, exactly where your priorities lie
Cos you can't blame drugs and rock n roll forever
I can't help but remember
You used to be so
So pretty
Oh no, uh oh, oh no
Saturday night out on the scene
And you're all dressed just like Agnus Dean
With hair to match you think you look so different
As your waiting in her kitchen
Someone phones a cab,
You go outside to have a fag
But you just fake tanned your legs and now it's pouring
So your standing in the door
Have a few, start the night off right
Taxis just pulled, up outside
So you all pile in, drive into the city
Oh darling its a pity
You used to be so
so pretty
oh no, uh oh, oh no.
Dont you find it somewhat strange
How people part and people change?
You used to be so
So Pretty
Oh no, uh oh, oh no.
You're looking pretty rough
and I'm not surprised
I can see the nights have taken their tole on your eyes
You've got a bottle in your hand
You're mates are stood round cheering
Who's leering at you now?
