Linda Thompson - Beauty lyrics

rate me

Beauty, you make me sad<br />

All you beautiful babies been had<br />

Who’ll be able to love you for<br />

What you, what you really are?<br />

<br />

Beauty, what is your face?<br />

What has it given the human race?<br />

All that it has given me is a longing for<br />

People and things I could never afford<br />

<br />

Ah, beauty, now that the walls of Troy are tumbling down<br />

And poor Oscar Wilde’s verdict is out<br />

And the Hope diamond’s up for auction<br />

<br />

And what about Michael Jackson?<br />

And I’m smoking again<br />

In the morning looking at<br />

<br />

Beauty, look at me<br />

You who did line the apple once offered Eve<br />

I fear you line the world we see<br />

Filled with goodness only hidden by<br />

<br />

Beauty, you make me sad<br />

You make me sad<br />

You make me sad
