Lyrics
Ooks, looks, looks
Emphasis on the importance of looks
You had sense, you had style, you had cash galore
Listing qualities - sense, style, cash
Looks, looks, looks
Reiteration of the significance of looks
You employed her and dressed her in formal fashion
Describing employment and formal dressing
Still you bore her because you ain't got a nose that's straight, a set of perfect teeth
Expressing dissatisfaction due to physical appearance
You got a built-in seat, that makes you look effete
Reference to a physical feature affecting perception
You know that looks, looks, looks, are why you rely on books
Highlighting reliance on looks and books
Looks, looks, looks
Reiteration of the importance of looks
From the eye to the brains just one inch or two
Physical proximity between eyes and brain
Looks, looks, looks
Emphasizing the distance from eyes to heart
From the eye to the heart's only slightly farther
Intelligence doesn't necessarily compensate
The smart grow smarter, but still can't compete
Acknowledging emotional scars despite intelligence
And they know deep down that they are scarred for life
The power of facial attractiveness
And that a face can launch a thousand hips
Positive outlook despite challenges
It's gonna be all right
Optimistic reassurance
If it ain't, don't blame me, it's your looks
Attributing problems to one's looks
At night she masquerades her passion covered by a veil of calm
Describing a hidden passion behind a calm facade
Say, put on your shoes
Encouraging action - putting on shoes
Say, put on your shoes
-No use one look at her and anyone can tell that she's on fire
Recognizing intense desire or passion
Spot her error
Repetition, possibly emphasizing recognizing a mistake
Spot her error
-Spot her error
-Well, now she's all over you
Consequences of the recognized mistake
Looks, looks, looks
Reiteration of the importance of looks
No, it's not very hard to make history
Stating the ease of making history with good looks
Looks, looks, looks
Repetition of the significance of looks
Just some cavalry and a good uniform that fits in places
Highlighting the role of appearance in making history
Where everyone tends to look and marvel
Describing admiration for charismatic leadership
At the way you lead them on and
-Look and marvel at the way you win because of
-Looks, looks, looks
Reiteration of the importance of looks
As long as you're long on looks
Success as long as one possesses good looks
Spot her error
Repetition, emphasizing recognizing a mistake
Spot her error
-Spot her error
-Well, now she's all over you
Consequences of the recognized mistake
Looks, looks, looks
Reiteration of the importance of looks
Far away, close at hand, it's the only thing
Looks as the sole significant factor
Looks, looks, looks
Emphasizing the universal impact of looks
On the seas in the sand, any place is laced with
Various environments affected by looks
Those who have it
Division based on possession or lack of good looks
And those who can only look
