You Are Too Beautiful
Enchanting Folly: Embracing Beauty and Folly in Curtis Stigers' Melody
Lyrics
You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true
You, my dear, are incredibly beautiful, almost unbelievably so.
And I am a fool for beauty
I am infatuated with beauty and perhaps acting foolishly because of it.
Fooled by a feeling that because I have found you
I am deceived by a strong emotion, thinking that just because I found you, I could possess and control you.
I could have bound you too
There is a sense of possessiveness, imagining that I could have bound you to me.
You are too beautiful for one man alone
Your beauty is too exceptional to belong to just one man.
For one lucky fool to be with
I feel like a fortunate fool to be with you, given your extraordinary beauty.
When there are other men
There are other men who also have their own perspectives and appreciation for beauty.
With eyes of their own to see with
Other men have their own eyes to see and admire your beauty.
Love does not stand sharing
Love does not tolerate sharing, especially when one deeply cares.
Not if one cares
Sharing is unacceptable if there is genuine affection.
Have you been comparing
Are you comparing my kisses with those of others?
My every kiss with theirs
Suggesting that each of my kisses should be unique and special.
If, on the other hand, I'm faithful to you
If I remain faithful to you, it's not out of obligation but genuine commitment.
It's not through a sense of duty
Faithfulness is not a result of duty but a heartfelt connection.
You are too beautiful
Reiterating that you are exceptionally beautiful.
And I am a fool for beauty
I am captivated by beauty and might act irrationally because of it.
Love does not stand sharing
Love cannot endure sharing, especially when there is a strong emotional bond.
Not if one cares
Sharing is not acceptable if there is genuine care and love.
Have you been comparing
Repeating the question of whether my kisses are being compared with others.
My every kiss with theirs
Emphasizing the uniqueness and significance of each kiss.
If, on the other hand, I'm faithful to you
If I am faithful, it's because of a sincere commitment, not duty.
It's not through a sense of duty
Reiterating that faithfulness is driven by genuine feelings, not obligation.
You are too beautiful
Underscoring once again the exceptional beauty of the person being addressed.
And I am a fool for beauty
Acknowledging that infatuation with beauty might lead to foolish actions.
