Beauty Contest Lyrics by Charles Watson

Yes

2022

[Verse 1]
I won the beauty contest
Gold, silver, bronze they are all on my mind
No reward for being honest
And my love affair with never getting what I want calls right on time
[Chorus]
And I don't know if I'm supposed to act surprised
Never sure where to look when the sunlight tears right in
Just humor me a second with my deep, brown eyes
Yesterday came and went, the note it left read:
Just weaponize it, monetize it, criticize it
But I guess that's just the way it goes
And the way it stays! (the way it stays!)
[Verse 2]
Nothing but summer skies now
Cut flowers and a feeling that you could've had a whole lot more
But you're free to do what you like now
And a little bit of nothing never did nobody no harm no
[Chorus]
Yeah I know that there's pressure on your branches but
I just came around to tell you that you really changed my life
I left them sleeping, let them know I need their love
The kids are queueing round the block, I guess they really know a pure light when they
Recognize it. Don't need to justify it, crucify it
Hands up, old times come back to haunt
I guess that's just the way it goes
And the way it stays! (and the way it stays!)
