lyrics

She was a beautiful debutante from outer space
Yeah, you know she got it so good
Men would drive a hundred miles just to see her face
Uh huh, and you know that they should

She can see them making plans for the rest of her life
But she'll never settle for just being somebody's wife
Having fun is what she's here for, mister, don't drag her down
Cause she'll laugh when you hit ground

She's something like glitter
Beautiful and shiny
One wrong turn she'll cut you up
Something like glitter
Cheap red wine in a gilded cup
But she will have her way
It's her game and we all get to play
All fall down
Wait it out
Cause glitter fades

There's only one thing in common that you both share
Yeah, you both love her
You may think that you can change her, you don't have a prayer
Oh, you're a rank amateur

Cause she's written all the rules and they change at her whim
Smiling sweetly as she tears you limb from limb
She's bringing her own pedestal, you better make room
Or she'll push you out the way

She's something like glitter
Beautiful and shiny
One wrong turn she'll cut you up
Something like glitter
Cheap red wine in a gilded cup
But she will have her way
It's her game and we all get to play
All fall down
Wait it out
Cause glitter fades

Yeah she's hard to hold
A bird without a cage
But all that glitters is not gold

She's something like glitter
Beautiful and shiny
One wrong turn she'll cut you up
Something like glitter
Cheap red wine in a gilded cup
But she will have her way
It's her game and we all get to play
All fall down
Wait it out
Cause glitter fades
All fall down
Wait it out
Cause glitter fades
