True Beauty Is So Painful

Oomph! · Other Songs - Oomph!

How did you get your perfect body?

Where did you get such perfect skin?

How come you're such a perfect hottie?

Not a wrinkle, no double-chin

Grandmother, grandmother

Tell me why you're still so young?

True beauty is so painful, my dear

The price we pay is shameful, my dear

Don't you know the surgeon's cut is like the fountain of youth?

I'm living proof, now look at me and tell the truth

'Cause I know you wanted too

What's your secret for staying youthful?

What's your secret for staying thin?

Won't you tell me and please be truthful?

Does the beauty come from within?

Grandmother, grandmother

Tell me why you're still so young?

True beauty is so painful, my dear

The price we pay is shameful, my dear

Don't you know the surgeon's cut is like the fountain of youth?

I'm living proof, now look at me and tell the truth

'Cause I know you wanted too

Listen now, this face was born in blood and desperation

So don't look deeper than my skin, dear child

This body cost my soul, there's no salvation

So don't look deeper down within

True beauty is so painful, my dear

The price we pay is shameful, my dear

Don't you know the surgeon's cut is like the fountain of youth?

I'm living proof, now look at me and tell the truth

True beauty is so painful

Don't you know you've got to suffer at the end of the knife?

Yeah, that's the price for fortune, fame, your name in lights

Don't you want eternal life?
