Too Beautiful To Be Good
Beauty Betrayed: Love's Dilemma Unveiled in 'Too Beautiful To Be Good'
Lyrics
Oh, I’ve always tried to look my best
Expressing efforts to appear in one's best form
And I’ve always tried to fill my babe’s every request
Attempting to fulfill all requests or desires of one's partner
But last night he told the world woman
Her partner publicly expressed something to the effect that
Away from the world woman who
Separating her from the world as a woman
Thats what he did when he said
He performed this action when he verbally stated
You too beautiful to be good
Commented that she's too attractive to be morally good
Oh, a woman’s pride mean the word to her
A woman's self-respect holds immense value
She tries to live a good life, oh man
She endeavors to lead a virtuous life, even without a clear plan
Well, without a plan
Acting without proper guidance or direction
Taking her pride away
Undermining her self-respect
Is like coal ???
Metaphor for extinguishing something valuable
Putting out fire on the wood
Similar to dampening the ardor or passion
Thats what he did when he said
He repeated this action when he spoke
You too beautiful to be good
Reiterated the notion that her beauty contradicts goodness
Oh, I've always loved my man
Always harbored love for her partner
Don’t ever ??? on his head
Never looked down or disparaged him
Respected him for everything that he stood for
Respected his principles and ideals
And done anything he said
Complied with his wishes unquestioningly
So tell me!
Posing a question regarding her predicament
Whats a little girl supposed to do?
When faced with disbelief about her genuine love
When she finds out that her man don’t believe her love is true
Questioning what actions a woman in this situation should take
Oh, I’ve always tried to look my best
Reiterating the effort to present herself well
And I’ve always tried to fill my babe’s every request
Continued attempts to fulfill her partner's desires
But last night he told the world woman
Repeating the partner's public expression from the previous night
Away from the world woman who
Reinforcing the idea of being isolated due to femininity
Thats what he did when he said
Reemphasizing the partner's comment about her conflicting beauty and goodness
You too beautiful to be good
Confirming the partner's statement about her beauty and morality
Oh, yes he did!
Acknowledging his affirmation of her being too beautiful to be good
To be good, that’s what he said
Reiterating the partner's viewpoint about being good in relation to beauty
To be good
Repeating the idea of being good despite conflicting perceptions of beauty
