If you don't look like a picture in a book you're an outcast,
L-L-L-L-Life's so hard,
You're wearing out your credit card 'cause styles keep changing so fast.

Fashion fades,
Things will change,
Something stronger will remain,
The love of Jesus stays the same,
Where will you be when the fashion fades'

Hey,

Bell bottom jeans and ever-changing mood rings once made sense,
Miami Vice; you would have paid most any price,
But now pastels are past tense.

Fashion fades,
Things will change,
Something stronger will remain,
The love of Jesus stays the same,
Where will you be when the fashion fades'

All the things you had to buy, special order through the mail,
Things you thought would change your life are the highlights of somebody's yard sale.

Fashion fades,
Things will change,
Something stronger will remain,
The love of Jesus stays the same,
Where will you be when the fashion fades'

Ooh, when fashion fades,
It's gonna be gone when the fashion fades.
