If Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder
What does the Beholder think?
Of her face, so pretty?
What does the Beholder want to see?

Illusion, illusion, what do you see, love?
Love, makeup distorts the natural grace
Illusion, illusion, what do you want
To see, pretty, love, she is a queen

Royalty, we associate beauty with its name
But as history shows, it can be the ugliest thing
Style and fashion run their course, definite and short

But beauty’s not an opinion
It’s just a state of mind.

Illusion, illusion, what do you see, now?
Love, the natural grace is hidden
I have a choice to choose between
The model and the poor girl

Is the model is so far prettier?
Or it’s just because we give her a label,
If you look again, the poor girl’s
So much prettier than you realized

Illusion, illusion, beholder, tell me this
Contests of beauty, I can’t relate
I ain’t any judge, but I won’t
Vote on this made-up airbrushed face
