Beautiful

(album: Growing Up In Public - 1992)

Watching you begin your going
I can still remember how it was with you
And then you go and throw it at me
Sleeping with a guy I called my friend
Some friend

Big shot, I could've won
Nothing stopping me

Shoot for the moon
Big shot, I should've done
I could've owned it
Bit I made it too soon

Beautiful is what you are
Beautiful to me
Beautiful is what you are
But I can't set you free
Tie a ball and chain around
You keep you close to me
Beautiful is what you are
But I can't set you free

And hurting was your special thing, girl
And you could turn it on just when you wanted
To you had me wrapped around your finger
Every little thing you wanted me to do
I would do for you

Big shot, I could've been
I could've made it
Could've reached for the sky
Big shot, I should've been
But you took it from me
Wore it down by and by

Beautiful is what you are
Beautiful to me
Beautiful is what you are
But I can't set you free
Tie a ball and chain around
You keep you close to me
Beautiful is what you are
But I can't set you free
