Beauty Is Only Skin Deep (Single Version (Mono)) - The Temptations

作词：Norman Whitfield/Eddie Holland

作曲：Norman Whitfield/Eddie Holland

So in love sad as could be

'Cause a pretty face got the best of me

Suddenly you came into my life

And gave it meaning and pure delight

Now good looks I've learned to do without

'Cause now I know it's love that really counts

'Cause I know that

(Beauty's only skin deep yeah yeah yeah )

I know that

Beauty's only skin deep yes indeed

Now you speak your words warm and sincere

And let's me know that your love is near

A pretty face you may not possess

But what I like about you is your tenderness

A pretty face maybe some guys taste

But I'll take lovin' in it's place

'Cause I know that

(Beauty's only skin deep yeah yeah yeah )

And you know that

Beauty's only skin deep oh baby oh yeah

(Oh yeah Oh yeah)

(Beauty's only skin deep yeah yeah yeah )

Ooo

(Beauty's only skin deep oh yeah )

Yes it is

My friends ask what do I see in you

But it goes deeper than the eye can view

You have a pleasin' personality

And that's an ever lovin' rare quality

Now show me a girl a girl that's fine

And I'll choose the one with true lovin' every time

I know that

(Beauty's only skin deep yeah yeah yeah)

And I believe that

Beau- know that beauty's only skin deep

So if you're lookin' for a lover (Oh yeah)

Don't judge a book by it's cover (Oh yeah)

She may be fine on the outside (Oh yeah)

But so untrue on the inside (Oh yeah)

Ooo
