Beauty Is Only Skin Deep
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.
So in love, sad as could be
'Cause a pretty face got the best of me
Suddenly you came into my life
And gave it meaning and pure delight
Now, good looks I've learned to do without
'Cause now I know it's love that really counts
I know beauty's only skin deep
Yeah yeah yeah
Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, you speak your words warm and sincere
And let me know that your love is here
A pretty face you many not possess
But what I like about you is your tenderness
A pretty face may be some guys taste
But I'll take lovin' in its place
'Cause I know beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, friends ask what do I see in you
But it goes deeper than the eye can view
You have a pleasing personality
And that's an ever lovin' rare quality
Now, show me a girl, a girl that's fine
And I'll choose the one with true lovin' ev'ry time
'Cause I know beauty's only skin deep
Yeah yeah yeah
Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah yeah yeah
So if you're lookin' for a lover
(Oh, yeah) don't judge a book by its cover
(Oh yeah) She may be fine on the outside
(Oh yeah) but so untrue on the inside
