Safety pins holding up the things That make you mine About your hair, you needn't care You look beautiful all the time Shine, shine, shine on Yes, won't you shine, shine on? Your magazines rip people at the seams But you still read I must admit, I don't believe in it But I see how you get sucked in Shine, shine, shine on Yes, won't you shine, shine on? (Sha-la-la-la) Shine, shine, shine on Yes, won't you shine, shine on? Because you're not done Why do you bite the hand that feeds you? Why do you Why do you bite the hand that feeds? Yeah Shine, shine, shine on Yes, won't you shine, shine on? (Sha-la-la-la) Shine, shine, shine on Yes, won't you shine, shine on? Safety pins holding up the things That make you mine About your hair, you needn't care You look beautiful all of the time
