Beauty's Only Skin Deep

So in love, sad as could be

'Cause her 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 only counts

'Cause I know that

Beauty's only skin deep

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

I know that

Beauty's only skin deep

Oh, yeah

Now you speak your words warm and sincere

It lets me know that you 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 guy's 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 yeah, oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah

Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah

Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah

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

Because I know that

Beauty's only skin deep

Yeah, yeah, yeah

And I believe that

Beauty's only skin deep

Oh, yeah

So if you're lookin' for a lover

Don't judge a book by its cover

She may be fine on the outside

But so untrue on the inside

Beauty's only skin deep
