How Can You Call That Beautiful?

Believe me I would rather say nothing than lie But have you heard about that so-called beautiful guy I was begging for some money at the usual time The only thing he gave me was a lousy dime How can you call that beautiful Why can't you see that I'm beautiful How can you call that beautiful Why can't you see how beautiful I am I never paid him much attention before I think I know why I never noticed him more He doesn't pay enough attention to me He's a nice enough guy but he's not what I am You believe me, I believe every word you say So tell me what you did to be beautiful today It's not that I think you're not a beautiful lot I wouldn't want to hang around with someone who's not How can you call that beautiful Why can't I see that you're beautiful How can you call that beautiful Why can't I see how beautiful you are too You're a nice enough guy But you're not what you'd have me believe I guess we're not as beautiful as we thought But it really doesn't matter As long as we're all just as ugly I guess I really have made a lot of mistakes And maybe I haven't got what it takes The stuff that I need to be a beautiful me I'm a nice enough guy But I'm not what I'd have you believe
