Lyrics

"COVER BOY"

Music by Kevin Bassinson
Lyric by Margaret Harris


VERSE: What a face
What a face
Made for the screen
They will put you
On the cover of those fashion magazines

What a smile
What a smile
A bankable smile
You?ll have fame and fortune
At least for awhile

CHORUS: They love you
COVER BOY
COVER BOY
Imaginery lover boy
Cover Boy
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

They may change your image
But not their point of view
You?re just another pretty face to them
That?s all they see in you

VERSE: What a farce
What a farce
They think you?re a tease
I?ll bet you are
In a lot of little school girl fantasies

What a life
What a life
You just might go insane
Everybody wants you, taunts you
They don?t even know your name

CHORUS: They love you
COVER BOY
COVER BOY
Imaginery lover boy
Cover Boy
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

They may change your image
But not their point of view
You?re just another pretty face to them
That?s all they see in you


BRIDGE: What happens when everyone?s tired of you
And your mirror begins to lie
Will it be too late to find the truth
Behind those made up eyes

CHORUS: COVER BOY
COVER BOY
Imaginery lover boy
Cover Boy
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

They may change your image
But not their point of view
You?re just another pretty face to them
That?s all they see in you

You?ve been discovered boy
Cover Boy
Better take cover boy
Cover Boy

So sorry if you must pretend
You?re happy when you?re blue
But you?re just another pretty face to them
That?s all they see in you

They may change your image
But not their point of view
You?re just another pretty face to them
That?s all they see in you

COVER BOY
COVER BOY
Imaginery lover boy
Cover Boy

Better take cover boy
Cover Boy
Imaginery lover boy
Cover Boy

SPOKEN TAG: COVER BOY COVER BOY
Imaginery lover
You know you?d better take (cover boy ? COVER BOY)

Your mirror lied
Your friends are gone
It?s heaven, hell or limbo
Where do you belong
C?mon tell me

The face
The farce
The smile
The strife
Was it really worth it to live this life
