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 cant you see that Im beautiful
How can you call that beautiful
Why cant you see how beautiful I am

I never paid him much attention before
I think I know why I never noticed him more
He doesnt pay enough attention to me
Hes a nice enough guy but hes not what I am

You believe me, I believe every word you say
So tell me what you did to be beautiful today
Its not that I think youre not a beautiful lot
I wouldnt want to hang around with someone whos not

How can you call that beautiful
Why cant I see that youre beautiful
How can you call that beautiful
Why cant I see how beautiful you are too

Youre a nice enough guy
But youre not what youd have me believe
I guess were not as beautiful as we thought
But it really doesnt matter
As long as were all just as ugly

I guess I really have made a lot of mistakes
And maybe I havent got what it takes
The stuff that I need to be a beautiful me
Im a nice enough guy
But Im not what Id have you believe
