How Can That Be Beautiful? Lyrics

How Can That Be Beautiful? lyrics

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 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
