The Who - REAL GOOD LOOKING BOY lyrics

When I think back to the

first time in my childhood

When I saw that face

I thought right then,

'That's a real good looking boy'

I saw myself in the mirror

in profile

for the first time

I thought,

'Hey! That's a real good looking boy'

And I felt then

that I moved

With all those lucky fucks and angels

High in the theatre

In the sky

So I ran to my mother

I said,

'Mom - take a look at me

Have you ever seen a teen

Fly so high?'

That's a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy

She said,

'Son, well, you know,

you're an ugly boy.

You don't really look like him

In this long line

There's been some

real strange genes

You've got 'em all

You've got 'em all

With some extras thrown in'

That's a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy

Wise men say

Only fools, only fools rush in

But I - I can't help

Falling in love, in love with you

Now I'm here with you little darling

And you say, 'You're as beautiful as you are'

And I've managed somehow to survive

You arrived in my life like a fragrance

You helped me find a way to laugh

Now I know a so-called beauty lies

God gave him a face

Then he gave me something above

God gave me a grace

Then he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love

You make me feel like I'm a real good looking boy

I feel I'm a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy

That's a real good looking boy
