Barenaked Ladies | Lyrics | Beautiful

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?

Beautiful, isn't she?
Beautiful, paid to be
Beautiful, when I see
Beautiful, shame on me

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
(Every time she walks in the room)
(Their heads all turn to find her)
Beautiful
(Everything she says)
(I simply say I never mind her)

Beautiful
(Everyone she sees, seems to ignore)
(The whole experience)
Beautiful
(Every time she leaves)
(She sees me checking her appearance)

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

Beautiful, isn't she?
Beautiful, paid to be
Beautiful, when I see
Beautiful, shame on me

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 her)

Beautiful, when I see
(Everyone she sees seems to ignore)
(The whole experience)
Beautiful, shame on me
