Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

(álbum: Away We A Go-Go - 1966)

So in love, sad as I can be
'Cause her pretty face got the best of me
Suddenly, you came into my life
And gave it meaning and delight
Now good looks I've learned to do without
I know now it's love that really counts

Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You speak your words warm and sincere
And it lets me know that your love is dear
A pretty face you may not possess
But what I like about you is your tenderness

A pretty face may be some guy's taste
But I'll take loving in its place

'Cause I know
Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah

My 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 loving rare quality

Now show me a girl, a girl that's fine
And I'll choose the one with true loving every time

'Cause I know
Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah

So if you're looking for a lover (yeah yeah)
Don't judge a book by its cover (yeah yeah yeah)
She may be fine on the outside (yeah yeah)
But so unkind on the inside (yeah yeah yeah)
Don't you give me no beauty (yeah yeah)
All you have to do is love me truly (yeah yeah yeah)
