Nazz - How Can That Be Beautiful? lyrics

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 can't you see that I'm beautiful

How can you call that beautiful

Why can't you see how beautiful I am

I never paid him much attention before

I think I know why I never noticed him more

He doesn't pay enough attention to me

He's a nice enough guy but he's not what I am

You believe me, I believe every word you say

So tell me what you did to be beautiful today

It's not that I think you're not a beautiful lot

I wouldn't want to hang around with someone who's not

How can you call that beautiful

Why can't I see that you're beautiful

How can you call that beautiful

Why can't I see how beautiful you are too

You're a nice enough guy

But you're not what you'd have me believe

I guess we're not as beautiful as we thought

But it really doesn't matter

as long as we're all just as ugly

I guess I really have made a lot of mistakes

And maybe I haven't got what it takes

The stuff that I need to be a beautiful me

I'm a nice enough guy

but I'm not what I'd have you believe
