Lyrics

[00:05:000] Just so beautiful
[00:10:000] Inside out more colourful
[00:16:000] Fair hair tied back casual
[00:21:000] A go-getter, go-getter
[00:24:000] You’re the best of all
[00:26:000] You’ve seen it four, five hundred times on repeat
[00:30:000] You’re like a leftover better than a ribbon-tied treat
[00:36:000] Narrow roads, never limit, never temper your speed
[00:41:000] And when the river froze solid you’re still swimming upstream
[00:46:000] You’d hold your own in the presence of pauper and a king
[00:52:000] Leave a singing bird silent, make a hummingbird sing
[00:57:000] You are a rope-a-doper coming back queen
[01:03:000] They all want you so bad, of course they do
[01:14:000] Just so beautiful
[01:45:000] You break your back for the mission because you know where you stand
[01:51:000] You live your life to a letter writ on the back of your hand
[01:56:000] The way you move, you float, never know where you land
[02:01:000] Give a five star rating if you know that you can
[02:06:000] You are a rose-tinted underground fail
[02:11:000] You are a red arrow fighter jet trail
[02:16:000] You are the best of both, feel I know you so well
[02:22:000] And I lay here beside you and I’m golden now
