Beauty's Only Skin Deep
Love Beyond the Surface: Beauty's True Depth Revealed
Lyrics
So in love, sad as could be
Expressing deep love despite feeling sadness.
'Cause a pretty face got the best of me.
Regretting being captivated by physical beauty.
Suddenly you came into my life
Describing the sudden entrance of someone significant into the speaker's life.
And gave it meaning and pure delight.
Attributing meaning and joy to the presence of the new person.
Now, good looks I've learned to do without
Expressing a shift in values, no longer prioritizing good looks.
'Cause now I know it's love that really counts
Recognizing that love is the essential factor in a relationship.
I know beauty's only skin deep.
Stating the theme that beauty is only superficial.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Repeating the idea that beauty is not the most important aspect.
Beauty's only skin deep.
Reiterating the superficial nature of beauty.
Yeah yeah yeah,
Continuing to emphasize the theme of inner beauty.
Now, you speak your words warm and sincere
Highlighting the warmth and sincerity of the partner's words.
And let me know that your love is here.
Acknowledging the assurance of the partner's love.
A pretty face you many not possess
Downplaying the importance of physical attractiveness.
But what I like about you is your tenderness.
Appreciating the partner's tenderness over external beauty.
A pretty face may be some guys taste
Acknowledging that some may prefer a pretty face.
But I'll take lovin' in its place,
Choosing love over physical appearance.
'Cause I know beauty's only skin deep.
Reaffirming the idea that beauty is only skin deep.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Repeating the message about the superficiality of beauty.
Beauty's only skin deep.
Continuing to emphasize the theme of inner beauty.
Yeah, yeah yeah.
Repeating the idea that beauty is not the most crucial aspect.
Now, friends ask what do I see in you.
Responding to inquiries about the partner's qualities.
But it goes deeper than the eye can view.
Asserting that the partner's qualities go beyond physical appearance.
You have a pleasing personality
Praising the partner's pleasing personality.
And that's an ever lovin' rare quality.
Highlighting the rarity and value of the partner's loving nature.
Now, show me a girl, a girl that's fine
Comparing external beauty with a pleasing personality.
And I'll choose the one with true lovin' ev'ry time,
Choosing genuine love over external attractiveness.
'Cause I know beauty's only skin deep.
Reiterating the superficial nature of beauty.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Repeating the idea that beauty is not the most important aspect.
Beauty's only skin deep.
Continuing to emphasize the theme of inner beauty.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Repeating the message about the superficiality of beauty.
So if you're lookin' for a lover
Advising not to judge a potential lover solely based on appearance.
(Oh, yeah) don't judge a book by its cover.
Repeating the warning not to judge based on external appearances.
(Oh yeah) She may be fine on the outside
Highlighting the discrepancy between external appearance and true character.
(Oh yeah) but so untrue on the inside.
Warning against the deceptive nature of external beauty.
