You know she danc es while his fa ther plays gui tar, she’s sud den ly beau ti ful. And we all want some thing beau ti ful. Man, I wish I was beau ti ful. Mis ter Jones and me tell each oth er fair y tales and we stare at the beau ti ful wo men. She’s a look ing at you, oh, no no, she’s look ing at me Smil ing in the bright lights, com ing through in ste re o. When ev ’ry bo dy loves you, you could nev er be lone ly.
