What will I do when I’m not beautiful,
When they can’t stare at the years I hold?
What will I do with those years long past,
And nothing that they’d ask to photograph?
At least then I would have nothing left to live for
At least then they’d expect nothing from me anymore
At least then I’d just watch the days pass by
Wondering when I would get another try
Because then I would have nothing left to live for
What song will I sing when I’m old and gray
If there’s nowhere they’ll put me on display?
What will I do with only a story to tell
And nothing left that they can sell?
At least then I would have nothing left to live for
At least then they’d expect nothing from me anymore
At least then I’d just watch the days pass by
Wondering where I would be in my next life
Because then I would have nothing left to live for
And what will I do with someone by my side,
one whose love could never die?
He’d look at me and think ‘how beautiful’
Or maybe it’s something I’ll never know
At least then I would have nothing left to live for
At least then they’d expect nothing from me anymore
At least then I’d just watch the days pass by
Wondering when I would get another try
Because then I would have nothing left to live for
At least then, nothing to live for
At least then they’d expect nothing from me anymore
At least then I’d just watch the days pass by
Wondering ba ba ba da ba da ba ba da da
Then I would have nothing left to live for
At least then I would have nothing left to live for
At least then I would have nothing left to live for
