Believe me i would rather say nothing than lie

But have you heard about that so-called beautiful guy

I was begging for some money at the usual time

The only thing he gave me was a lousy dime



How can you call that beautiful

Why can't you see that i'm beautiful

How can you call that beautiful

Why can't you see how beautiful i am



I never paid him much attention before

I think i know why i never noticed him more

He doesn't pay enough attention to me

He's a nice enough guy but he's not what i am



You believe me, i believe every word you say

So tell me what you did to be beautiful today

It's not that i think you're not a beautiful lot

I wouldn't want to hang around with someone who's not



How can you call that beautiful

Why can't i see that you're beautiful

How can you call that beautiful

Why can't i see how beautiful you are too



You're a nice enough guy

But you're not what you'd have me believe

I guess we're not as beautiful as we thought

But it really doesn't matter

As long as we're all just as ugly



I guess i really have made a lot of mistakes

And maybe i haven't got what it takes

The stuff that i need to be a beautiful me

I'm a nice enough guy

But i'm not what i'd have you believe
