The Ultimate Motown Collection

0

[Verse 1]
So in love, sad as could be
'Cause her pretty face got the best of me
Suddenly, you came into my life
And gave it meaning and pure delight
And now good looks I've learned to do without (Yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
'Cause now I know it's love that really counts (Yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
[Chorus]
'Cause I know
(Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know that
Beauty's only skin deep
(Oh, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Now you speak your words warm and sincere
And it lets me know that you love is dear
A prеtty face you may not possess
But what I like about you is your tеnderness
A pretty face may be some guy's taste (Yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
But I'll take lovin' in its place (Yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
[Chorus]
'Cause I know
(Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know that
Beauty's only skin deep
(Woah yeah)
[Bridge]
Hey, baby (Oh, yeah)
(Oh, yeah)
[Chorus]
You know that
(Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said one more time, yeah, yeah
(Beauty's only skin deep
Woah yeah)
[Verse 3]
Now my friends ask what do I see in you
But it goes deeper than the eye can view, yeah
You have a pleasin' personality
And that's an everlovin' rare quality
Now show me a girl, a girl that's fine (Yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
And I'll choose the one with true loving every time (Yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
[Chorus]
'Cause I know
(Beauty's only skin deep
Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I'm sure that you know
(Beauty's only skin deep
Woah, yeah)
[Outro]
So if you're lookin' 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 unkind on the inside (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know that beauty's only skin deep (Oh yeah)
I said beauty's only skin deep (Oh yeah)
Ah, beauty's only skin deep
