Song | Beauty Is Only Skin Deep |
Artist | The Temptations |
Album | The Singles Collection - At Their Very Best Disc1 |
So in love, sad as could be | |
'Cause a 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 really counts. | |
'Cause I know that... | |
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah.) | |
I know that... | |
Beauty's only skin deep, yes indeed. | |
Now you speak your words warm and sincere. | |
And let's me know that your love is near. | |
A pretty face you may not possess | |
But what I like about you is your tenderness. | |
A pretty face maybe some guys taste | |
But I'll take lovin' in it's place. | |
'Cause I know that... | |
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah.) | |
And you know that... | |
Beauty's only skin deep, oh baby, oh yeah. | |
(Oh yeah, Oh yeah) | |
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah.) | |
Ooo | |
(Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah.) | |
Yes it is. | |
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. | |
I know that... | |
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah) | |
And I believe that... | |
Beau- know that beauty's only skin deep. | |
So if you're lookin' for a lover. (Oh yeah) | |
Don't judge a book by it's cover. (Oh yeah) | |
She may be fine on the outside (Oh yeah) | |
But so untrue on the inside. (Oh yeah) | |
Ooo |
So in love, sad as could be | |
