Beauty Is Only Skin Deep
Ooh-we (do-de-do-do)
Ooh-oh-we (do-de-do-do)
So in love, sad as I can be
'Cause a pretty face got the best of me
Suddenly you came into my life
And gave it meaning and delight
Now, good looks I've learned to do without
I know now, it's love that really counts oh-yeah
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah)
Beauty's only skin deep (beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah)
Oo-ooh speak, your words warm and sincere
And it let's me know that your love is dear
A pretty face you may 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)
Yeah yeah yeah (beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah)
Ooh-we
Ooh-oh-we
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah)
My friends ask, what do I see in you
But it goes deeper than the eye can view
You have a pleasing personality
And it'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)
Yeah yeah yeah (beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah)
So if you're lookin' for a lover (yeah, yeah)
Don't judge a book by its cover (yeah yeah yeah)
She may be fine on the outside (yeah, yeah)
But so unkind on the inside (yeah yeah yeah)
Don't cha give me no beauty (yeah, yeah)
All you have to do is love me truly (yeah yeah yeah)
Ooh-we (yeah, yeah)
Ooh-oh-we (do-de-do-do)
So in love, sad as I can be
'Cause a pretty face got the best of me
Suddenly you came into my life
And gave it meaning and delight
Now, good looks I've learned to do without
I know now, it's love that really counts oh-yeah
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah)
Beauty's only skin deep (beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah)
Oo-ooh speak, your words warm and sincere
And it let's me know that your love is dear
A pretty face you may 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)
Yeah yeah yeah (beauty's only skin deep, yeah yeah yeah)
Ooh-we
Ooh-oh-we
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
