Beautiful
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What if you were not just for show?
What if you were not good to go?
What if you were simply not so
Beautiful
What if you were not thin and tall?
What if you were done with it all?
What if you were not baby-doll
Beautiful
(Beautiful)
Isn't she?
(Beautiful)
Paid to be
(Beautiful)
When I see
(Beautiful)
Shame on me
Hoping that it's deeper than skin
Open to the beauty within
Scoping out the room's not a sin
Beautiful
Beautiful
And not much else
Not much else going on
No matter 'cause no one's as
(Beautiful)
Everytime she walks in the room their heads all turn to find her
(Beautiful)
Everything she says I simply say I never mind.*
(Beautiful)
Everyone she sees seems to ignore the whole experience.
(Beautiful)
Everytime she sees me checking her appearance
What if one day I wake up blind?
Would I go on losing my mind?
Groping in the dark just to find
Beautiful
Beauty disappears
Boredom perserveres
(Beautiful)
Isn't she?
(Beautiful)
Paid to be
(Beautiful)
When I see
(Beautiful)
Shame on me
(Beautiful) Isn't she?
Everytime she walks in the room their heads all turn to find her
(Beautiful) Paid to be
Everything she says I simply say I never mind.
(Beautiful) When I see
Everyone she sees seems to ignore the whole experience.
(Beautiful)
Shame on me
