Hidden Quality
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.
I got a girl, she's such a mess
She makes a rubbish bin look almost kind of sexy
She's got a stain down her dress
It makes it look like she's been dancing in a sewer
But they [?]
But underneath that poverty
I know she's got hidden quality
Underneath that crude exterior
I know she's got something superior
Oh whoa-oh
I know she's got hidden quality
Oh whoa-oh
I know she's got hidden quality
Though she'll never be a movie star
She really got a lot of class
Though she'll never be a movie star
She'll really
She loves me, ohhh
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her
Underneath that poverty
I know she's got hidden quality
Underneath that crude exterior
I know she's got something superior
Oh whoa-oh
I know she's got hidden quality
Oh whoa-oh
Whoa
I know I'm not a pretty sight
But hidden deep within me there is Casanova
I know I no Romeo
I'm not a Valentino, but I might as well be
But what they don't know
Underneath this poverty
She knows I got hidden quality
Underneath this crude exterior
She knows I got something superior
Oh whoa-oh
She says I got hidden quality
Oh whoa-oh
Whoahed?
