Shelter: Underneath your make-up [lyrics]

Shelter

Underneath your make-up

She was only seventeen

Ooh, but looked much older

Trying to play the games that big girls play

Leaving her sweet sixteen behind

She was the queen of her high school

But that didn't satisfy her, she wanted so much more

Now she's the queen of the street

Isn't her life complete?

Girl, underneath all your makeup

Just a child in disguise

Girl, underneath your phony smile

You're hiding the tears in your eyes

Girl, underneath all your makeup

You're hiding sad eyes

Do you remember Sally and Jim?

I saw them down at the video

They wanna know if you found what you are after

Is this the life you've been looking for?

Is this the dream you've been after?

They wanna know for sure before I leave you

So now you're the queen of the street

Isn't her life complete?

Girl, underneath all your makeup

Just a child in disguise

Girl, underneath your phony smile

You're hiding the tears in your eyes

Girl, underneath all your makeup

You're hiding sad eyes

Girl, underneath all your makeup

Just a child in disguise

Girl, underneath all your makeup

You're hiding the tears in your eyes

Girl, underneath all your makeup

You're hiding sad eyes

Girl, underneath all your makeup

You're just a child in disguise

Girl, underneath all your makeup

You're hiding sad eyes
