Gilded Lily Lyrics

She shines and she radiates
With true glow, oh so honest
More than she knows
Herself she underratesWith a bell and a whistle she decorates
To bring out less doubt
Something more to talk about now
To pull it in or fill it outIt's not what you put on
It's not what you put on[Chorus:]
Oh, little darlin'
Why did you pour more on?
Can't you see your
Reflection is gold?
You don't need these to shine you up, no
My gilded lily, you're really already enoughCrack in the mirror split her vanity
A voice grows, echoes, tells her she's a Jane Doe
So usual and ordinary
With a brush and a polish she touches up
Her skin she fills in all her imperfections

With garlands, costumes and gold trimIt's not what you put on
It's not what you put on[Chorus:]
Oh, little darlin'
Why did you pour more on?
Can't you see your
Reflection is gold?
You don't need these to shine you up, no
My gilded lily, you're really already enoughWith a bell and a whistle she decorates....
Oh, little darlin'
Don't pour more on
Little darlin'[Chorus:]
Oh, little darlin'
Why did you pour more on?
Can't you see your
Reflection is gold?
You don't need these to shine you up, no
My gilded lily, you're really already enough
