  • Last night's mascara's such a pretty thing
    It covers my eyes, I'm a beauty queen
    Running down my face, listening to "Orinoco Flow"
    Yeah, last night's mascara's such a wonderful thing
    It's as dark as my heart, yet it's sparkling
    And it stayed with me sitting on the back of the last train home

    Mm, would you look at me now? Yeah
    Wake up in the morning, oh, would you look at me now?
    I'm rubbing it off like it's a memory of you
    Oh, look at me now
    Oh, would you look at me now?
    Wake up in the morning, oh, would you look at me now?
    I'm rubbing it off like it's a memory of you
    Oh, would you look at me now?

    Yeah, last night's mascara's such a pretty thing
    It covers my eyes, I'm a beauty queen
    Running down my face, listening to "Orinoco Flow"

    Oh, oh, and Sunday morning, got me looking crazy
    I'm on my knees at the altar, baby
    Asking God to wash you from my soul, oh, oh

    Oh, would you look at me now? (Oh)
    Wake up in the morning, oh, would you look at me now?
    I'm rubbing it off like it's a memory of you
    Oh, look at me now
    Oh, would you look at me now?
    Wake up in the morning, oh, would you look at me now? (Oh, would you look at me now?)
    I'm rubbing it off like it's a memory of you
    Oh, would you look at me now? (Would you look at me, would you look at me?)

    Oh, oh, and Sunday morning, got me looking crazy
    I'm on my knees at the altar, baby
    Asking God to wash you from my soul, oh, oh
    Oh, and Sunday morning, got me looking crazy
    I'm on my knees at the altar, baby
    Asking God to wash you from my soul, oh, oh

    Mm, would you look at me now?
    Wake up in the morning, oh, would you look at me now?
    I'm rubbing it off like it's a memory of you
    Oh, look at me now

    I'm rubbing it off like it's a memory of you
    Look at me now Writer/s: Sarah Griffiths
