Beauty Is Only Skin Deep lyrics

So in love, sad as I can be

'Coz her pretty face got the best of me

Suddenly, you came into my life

And gave it meaning and delight

Now good looks I've learned to do without

I know now it's love that really counts

Beauty's only skin deep

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Beauty's only skin deep

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You speak your words warm and sincere

And it lets me know that your 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

'Coz I know

Beauty's only skin deep

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Beauty's only skin deep

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Beauty's only skin deep

Yeah, yeah, 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

'Coz I know

Beauty's only skin deep

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Beauty's only skin deep

Yeah, yeah, yeah

So if you're lookin' for a lover (yeah yeah)

Don't judge a book by its cover (yeah yeah yeah)

She may be fine on the outside (yeah yeah)

But so unkind on the inside (yeah yeah yeah)

Don't you give me no beauty (yeah yeah)

All you have to do is love me truly (yeah yeah yeah)
