Barenaked Ladies
Beautiful
[Verse 1]
What if you were not just for show?
What if you were not good to go?
What if you were simply not so beautiful?
What if you were not thin and tall?
What if you were done with it all?
What if you were not baby-doll beautiful?
[Chorus]
Beautiful, isn't she?
Beautiful, paid to be
Beautiful, when I see
Beautiful, shame on me
[Verse 2]
Hoping that it's deeper than skin
Open to the beauty within
Scoping out the room's not a sin, beautiful
Beautiful, and not much else
Not much else going on
No matter cause no one's as beautiful
[Bridge]
Every time she walks in the room their heads all turn to find her
Everything she says I simply say I never mind
Everyone she sees seems to ignore the whole experience
Every time she sees me checking her appearance
[Verse 3]
What if one day I wake up blind?
Would I go on losing my mind?
Groping in the dark just to find beautiful
Beauty disappears
Boredom perseveres
[Chorus]
Beautiful, isn't she?
Beautiful, paid to be
Beautiful, when I see
Beautiful, shame on me
[Bridge]
Beautiful, isn't she?
Every time she walks in the room their heads all turn to find her
Beautiful, paid to be
Everything she says I simply say I never mind
Beautiful, when I see
Everyone she sees seems to ignore the whole experience
Beautiful, shame on me
