Best Face Forward
You!
Me?
Yes, you. Not every woman is a natural beauty.
But the right face cream can work miracles!
Does my eyeshadow go with my clothes?
Are my crow's feet a mortal disaster?
Do my pores need foundation or plaster?
Am I putting my best face forward?
You!
Not them, Madam -- you!
Has your husband
lost interest?
Is he making small talk with
hat-check girls?
How did you know?
Might it be the fault of your appearance?
Do my roots match the rest of my hair?
Am I wearing the wrong color makeup?
Is my powder beginning to cake up?
Am I putting my best face forward?
Whomever I may pass,
On the street, the store, the classroom,
Both men and women judging me!
Judging me!
Society begrudging me
Begrudging me!
My right to age with grace.
I ask my looking glass
Looking glass, I'll ask you
Explain to me what "beauty" means
What "beauty" means.
Are beauty queens in magazines
Magazines
The standard
Ev'ry woman must embrace?
It's terrifying, face it! Face it!
What's a woman to do?
To put her best face forward?
AH-AH-AH-AH-AH...!
AH-AH-AH-AH-AH...!
Me?
Yes, you. Not every woman is a natural beauty.
But the right face cream can work miracles!
Does my eyeshadow go with my clothes?
Are my crow's feet a mortal disaster?
Do my pores need foundation or plaster?
Am I putting my best face forward?
You!
Not them, Madam -- you!
Has your husband

How did you know?

Am I putting my best face forward?
Whomever I may pass,

Judging me!

Begrudging me!
My right to age with grace.
