Ugly Guys With Beautiful Girls |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
You always know what the story is |
Beautiful girls with ugly guys |
What do they take us for, anyway? |
What do they take us for, anyway? |
What, what, what, what |
What, what, what, what |
What, what, what, what |
What, what, what, what |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
What, what, what, what |
What, what, what, what |
As they walk down the street, arm in arm |
I see them and once again feel the need to ask myself the question |
The question that has weighed heavily on me of late |
«How is it possible that a guy and a girl |
So dissimilar in physical appearance |
There being such a disparity in how attractive each is |
In nonetheless, in what would appear to be a relationship?» |
It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what) |
It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what) |
It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what) |
What, what, what, what |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
What, what, what, what |
What, what, what, what |
How do we explain this? |
An attraction of opposites? |
No, that theory has been refuted by many experts in the fields of human |
psychology |
A much greater attraction seems to come from one more similar to oneself |
Personality perhaps? |
(What, what, what, what) |
Without intending to sound judgmental |
I would say he doesn’t look like what was once called a «live wire» |
Or «the life of the party» |
He appears rather expressionless |
His movements are stiff, and even awkward |
Perhaps he’s a person of some intellect? |
An expert in science? |
The arts? |
Political theory? |
No, I think not (What, what, what, what) |
See how well tailored his clothes are? |
How well cut his hair is? |
(What, what, what, what) |
It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what) |
It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what) |
It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what) |
What, what, what, what |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
What, what, what, what |
What, what, what, what |
What, what, what, what |
What, what, what, what |
What, what, what, what |
What, what, what, what |
I must confess to you, my listeners |
That I have been a little less than honest |
In pretending I had no answers to my previous questions |
You see, I lost someone very dear to me (What, what, what, what) |
Someone very beautiful |
To someone much like him (What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what) |
«Why,» you ask? |
Surely there must’ve been some areas where you were deficient and he was not |
No, I don’t believe so, my shortcomings were of an economic nature |
He was rich, I was not (What, what, what, what) |
You see, I underestimated the appeal to her of things |
Imported things on wheels |
Large things with manicured lawns and Olympic swimming pools |
Things to wear around her neck that would glisten in the night light |
Things! |
(What, what, what, what, what, what, what, what) |
Still, I am not bitter |
Rather, I am an observer who saw first-hand how life may not always be fair |
Would things have worked out differently between me and her |
Had I moved up the corporate ladder quicker? |
Been born of more noble stock? |
Or had done better on one of our journeys to Las Vegas? |
Perhaps |
In fact, I’m certain of it |
Things would’ve turned out differently between me and her |
I know this now |
It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors |
It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what) |
It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what) |
It ain’t done with smoke and mirrors (What, what, what, what) |
What, what, what, what |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
What, what, what, what |
What, what, what, what |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
What, what, what, what |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
(Ugly guys with beautiful girls, ugly guys with beautiful girls) |
You always know what the story is |
(Ugly guys with beautiful girls, what, what, what, what) |
Ugly guys with beautiful girls |
You always know what the story is |
