You Are Too Beautiful
Embracing Unattainable Beauty: A Fool's Yearning
Lyrics
You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true
You, my dear, are so beautiful that it seems almost unreal
And I am a fool for beauty
I am captivated by beauty and may act irrationally because of it
Fooled by a feeling that because I have found you
I am deceived by the emotion that, having found you, I could possess and control you
I could have bound you too
There's a misguided belief that I could have bound you to me
You are too beautiful for one man alone
Your beauty surpasses the capacity of one man to appreciate
For one lucky fool to be with
It's foolish for one fortunate person to have you all to themselves
When there are other men
Other men also exist, and they have their own perspectives
With eyes of their own to see with
These other men have eyes to see and appreciate your beauty
Love does not stand sharing
Love does not tolerate sharing, especially when one truly cares
Not if one cares
Sharing is not acceptable if there is genuine affection
Have you been comparing
Are you comparing my expressions of love with those of others?
My every kiss with theirs
Suggesting that every kiss I give is being evaluated against others
If, on the other hand, I'm faithful to you
If, however, I remain faithful to you
It's not through a sense of duty
It's not out of a sense of duty or obligation
You are too beautiful
Your beauty is so overwhelming
And I am a fool for beauty
And I am a fool for being captivated by beauty
Love does not stand sharing
Love does not tolerate sharing, especially when one truly cares
Not if one cares
Sharing is not acceptable if there is genuine affection
Have you been comparing
Are you comparing my expressions of love with those of others?
My every kiss with theirs
Suggesting that every kiss I give is being evaluated against others
If, on the other hand, I'm faithful to you
If, however, I remain faithful to you
It's not through a sense of duty
It's not out of a sense of duty or obligation
You are too beautiful
Your beauty is so overwhelming
And I am a fool for beauty
And I am a fool for being captivated by beauty
