every day she looks in the mirror
never likes what she sees
every day, tears on her face
saying I don’t want to be me
every day she puts on her make-up
knowing the smile is fake
got the face but no satisfaction
never knows, what will it take?
she will do anything to
be the centre of attention
so the world falls down at her feet
C H O R U S
eye candy, eye candy
look at me, I can tell you why
eye candy, eye candy
I could be real, could be a lie
eye candy, eye candy
all a game, it’s the way we try
eye candy, eye candy
to make men cry
here comes the Miss World final
there goes the catwalk queen
she had The Look to die for
the talk of the TV screen
every night, alone in the silence
the only thing on her mind
prays her look will make her happy
never the dream she finds
Sold her an empty future
Tried to be someone else too
bad she can never be herself
C H O R U S
eye candy, eye candy
look at me, I can tell you why
eye candy, eye candy
I could be real, could be a lie
eye candy, eye candy
all a game, it’s the way we try
eye candy, eye candy
to make men cry
BRIDGE
Who’s the fairest of them all?
Mirror, mirror on the wall
She never gets an answer
Can you hear the teardrops fall?
Mirror, mirror on the wall
She never gets an answer
No smile on her perfect face
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Such a mess inside –
Does it show? Does she know
what part of her has died?
C H O R U S
eye candy, eye candy
look at me, I can tell you why
eye candy, eye candy
I could be real, could be a lie
eye candy, eye candy
all a game, it’s the way we try
eye candy, eye candy
to make men cry
Every day she looks in the mirror
Never likes what she sees
