you (prettier than)

hand in hand we walk the city

'neath the darkened skies

stealing kisses in the shadows

away from prying eyes

hiding out from those we know

secrets whispered

voices low

pulses raising

hearts aflame

a love that dare not speak it's name

well we just can't let people see

that you're not hot enough for me

don't tell our families or our friends

say one word and this thing ends

it's true

cause i'm prettier than you

i'll take you on a special date

enjoy your company

if someone we know happens by

just hide behind that tree

to a late night picture show

or planetarium we'll go

a midnight picnic in the park

anywhere that's really dark

well we just can't let people see

that you're not hot enough for me

but i'll enjoy this right or wrong

'til someone better comes along

my boo

someone prettier than you

i wish i weren't a shallow man

i wish that i cared not

i wish i weren't so superficial

i wish you were more hot

it should not be a shame to see

i love your personality

what we have is good and true

for you've got me

and lucky you

but we just can't let people see

that you're not hot enough for me

so close your eyes and sing along

at least i wrote you a love song

it too

is prettier than you
