Real Good Looking Boy - Radio Edit
When I think back to the first time in my childhood
When I saw that face, I thought right then
That's a real good looking boy
I saw myself in the mirror in profile
For the first time, I thought
Hey, that's a real good looking boy
And I felt then that I moved
With all those lucky and angels
High in the theater in the sky
So I ran to my mother
I said, "Hey Mom, take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen fly so high?"
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
She said, "Son, well you know you're an ugly boy
You don't really look like him"
In this long line, there's been some real strange genes
You got 'em all, you got 'em all with some extras thrown in
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
Wise men say
"Only fools, only fools rush in"
But I, I can't help
Falling in love, in love with you
Now I'm here with you, little darling
And you say, "You're beautiful as you are"
And I've managed somehow to survive
You arrived in my life like a fragrance
You helped me find a way to laugh
Now I know how so called beauty lies
God gave him a face
Then he gave me something above
God gave me a grace
Then he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love
You make me feel I'm a real good looking boy
I feel I'm a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
