The Temptations – Beauty's Only Skin Deep lyrics

So in love, sad as could be
Cause, a pretty face got the best of me
Suddenly, you came into my life
And gave it meaning and pure delight
Now good looks, I've learned to do without
Cause, now I know it's love that really counts

Cause I know that
(Beauty's only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know that beauty’s only skin deep, yes, it is
(Beauty's only skin deep, oh, yeah)

Now. you speak your words warm and sincere
And lets me know that your love is near
A pretty face you may not possess
But, what I like about you is your tenderness
A pretty face may be some guy’s taste
But, I'll take lovin’ in its place

Cause, I know
(That beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah)
And that you know that beauty’s only skin deep
(Beauty's only skin deep, oh yeah)
Oh, babe, oh yeah
(Oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)
(Beauty’s only skin deep, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Beauty’s only skin deep, oh, yeah)

My friends ask what do I see in you
But, it goes deeper than the eye can view
You have a pleasin' personality
And that's a ever livin' rare quality
Now, show me a girl, a girl that's fine
And I'll choose the one with true lovin' every time

Because, I know that
(Beauty's only skin deep yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I believe that beauty’s only skin deep
(Beauty’s only skin deep, oh, yeah)

So, if your lookin for a lover (oh yeah)
Don't judge a book by its cover (oh, yeah)
She may be fine on the outside (oh yeah)
But, so untrue on the inside (oh yeah)
Ooo
(Beauty’s only skin deep)
