When I Turn Off the Living Room Light (Live at The Riverside Studios, 1969)
Who cares if you're Jewish
And your breath smells of garlic
And your nose is a shiny red light
To me you are gorgeous
And everything's right
When I turn off the living room light
Your clothes are old-fashioned
Your knuckles are bony
Your hair looks a terrible sight
But I don't have to see you
The way that you are
When I turn off the living room light
When I turn off the living room light
I don't have to see you
The way that you are
When I turn off the living room light
Well it's not that you are ugly
And I'm not being cruel
It helps me to relax, dear
It helps to keep me cool
Now I am not intending
To make you feel ashamed
What's wrong in me pretending?
'Cause you can't help being plain
Your nose may be bulbous
Your face may be spotty
Your skin may be wrinkled and tight
But I don't want to see you
The way that you are
So I turn off the living room light
We don't feel so ugly
We don't feel so draggy
We don't feel so twisted up tight
And we don't feel as ugly as we really are
When we turn off the living room light
When we turn off the living room light
We don't feel as ugly as we really are
When we turn off the living room light
And your breath smells of garlic
And your nose is a shiny red light
To me you are gorgeous
And everything's right
When I turn off the living room light
Your clothes are old-fashioned
Your knuckles are bony
Your hair looks a terrible sight
But I don't have to see you
The way that you are
When I turn off the living room light
When I turn off the living room light
I don't have to see you
The way that you are
When I turn off the living room light
Well it's not that you are ugly
And I'm not being cruel
It helps me to relax, dear
It helps to keep me cool
Now I am not intending
To make you feel ashamed
What's wrong in me pretending?
'Cause you can't help being plain
Your nose may be bulbous
Your face may be spotty
Your skin may be wrinkled and tight
But I don't want to see you
The way that you are
So I turn off the living room light
We don't feel so ugly
We don't feel so draggy
We don't feel so twisted up tight
And we don't feel as ugly as we really are
When we turn off the living room light
When we turn off the living room light
We don't feel as ugly as we really are
When we turn off the living room light
