Beauty Is Only Skin Deep
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
'Cause I know that
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know that
Beauty's only skin deep, yes indeed
Now you speak your words warm and sincere
And lets me know that your love is near
A pretty face you may not possess
But what I like about you is your tenderness
A pretty face maybe some guys taste
But I'll take lovin' in its place
'Cause I know that
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And you know that
Beauty's only skin deep, oh baby, oh yeah
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oo-oo-oo
(Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah), yes, it is
My friends ask, what do I see in you
But it goes deeper than the eye can view
You have a pleasin' 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' every time
'Cause I know that
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I believe that
Beau- know that beauty's only skin deep (Oh 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 (oh, yeah)
Oo-oo-oo
'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
'Cause I know that
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know that
Beauty's only skin deep, yes indeed
Now you speak your words warm and sincere
And lets me know that your love is near
A pretty face you may not possess
But what I like about you is your tenderness
A pretty face maybe some guys taste
But I'll take lovin' in its place
'Cause I know that
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And you know that
Beauty's only skin deep, oh baby, oh yeah
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oo-oo-oo
(Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah), yes, it is
My friends ask, what do I see in you
