Cost of her Soul (song lyric)

A beautiful child
at the schoolyard gate,
pretty smile
lights up her face.
Last day,
turns her back on school
growing up feels cool in
a cold-blooded world.

Doesn’t matter
what’s in her thoughts.
Her face and body
is what the people want.
She’s an innocent doll,
head in a whirl.
beguiled and seduced
by the glamour world.

“Put on your make-up take off your clothes,
the camera will take you to the centrefold.
Just keep smiling, put your brain on ice,
you can make a million overnight…
though it will cost you your soul.”

Nipples in the ‘Sun’
‘Playboy’ loves her tits,
but part of her dies
with every camera click.
Noise, flash, crowds,
but she feels so alone;
the camera is her mother,
the magazine is home.

They only ever told her
how good she looked
and she was hooked.
Innocence had sealed the fate
of the pretty little thing
at the schoolyard gate
who never ever thought
’bout getting old;
it cost her her soul.
