Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

(album: Do What You Gotta Do - 1969)

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 loving 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 loving rare quality
Now, show me a girl, a girl that's fine
And I'll choose the one with true loving 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 looking for a lover
(Oh yeah) don't judge a book by its cover
(Oh yeah) she may be fine on the outside
(Oh yeah) but so untrue on the inside
