beauty is only skin deep

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

i know beauty's only skin deep

yeah yeah yeah

beauty's only skin deep

yeah yeah yeah

now

you speak your words warm and sincere

and let me know that your love is here

a pretty face you many not possess

but what i like about you is your tenderness

a pretty face may be some guys taste

but i'll take lovin' in its place

'cause i know beauty's only skin deep

yeah yeah yeah

beauty's only skin deep

yeah

yeah yeah

now

friends ask what do i see in you

but it goes deeper than the eye can view

you have a pleasing 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' ev'ry time

'cause 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

don't judge a book by its cover

she may be fine on the outside

but so untrue on the inside
