What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you takin' for beautie's sake ?
My heart's achin' 'cause I can't ignore you,
My heart's breakin' 'cause I can't reward you
What can I do ?
'Cause you stepped inside my soul
Feel like you're dyin' for beautie's sake
Say that you're lyin' for beautie's sake
Who cares what you're feeling ?
You've lost and you're dealing for beautie's sake.
In your circle you hold supreme sway,
Can you imagine not getting your own way ?
What can I do
'Cause you stepped inside my soul ?
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you takin' for beautie's sake ?
My heart's achin' 'cause I can't ignore you
My heart's breakin' 'cause I can't reward you.
What can I do ?
'Cause you stepped inside my soul.
You stand astride the city takin' it all in
Lyin' before the fire admiring your own skin
Beautiful and dumb - avarice and then some
What can I do ?
What can I do ?
What can I do ?
'Cause you stepped inside my soul ?
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you takin' for beautie's sake ?
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you fakin' for beautie's sake ?
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin' for beautie's sake
What are you takin'
What are you takin' for beautie's sake ?
