the lovin' spoonful - only pretty, what a pity - stereo remix

Edit for headphones. Edit of an interesting song of the 2011 expanded release of "You're a big boy now" + "Everything playing" (Edsel Records ‎– EDSS  1049). This song whas the b-side to their 1967 no 3 big Canada hit "She Is Still a Mystery". (No 27 in the U.S.)
Some more bass and the outter left vocals more spread out over the entire "field"... Another song by drummer Joe Butler.

ONLY PRETTY, WHAT A PITY
(Joe Butler - Robert Yeazel)

eyes to look at, not to see through
she never could see truth for lies
with a smile she'd win 'm over
her face a trick to take a prize

tickled pink, the mid aged dandy
sold his horse to buy her all
the icing for her face like candy
hung up the mirrors wall to wall

married life was short but funny
with long lost cousins dropping by
later on her alimony
paid for young men's gentle eyes

by the window hangs a mirror
where she hides her sagging chin now
sadly as she crouches nearer
never seeing past her skin

mommy said, when you were younger
the face you made, would stay that way
that's all true and if you doubt it
reflect upon yourself today

everyone except the baby
answers for the face they wear
it's the mast of your contentment
or the mask of your despair

only pretty, what a pity
only pretty, what a pity
only pretty, what a pity
