Because She's Much Too Beautiful

She never looks both ways 
When she crosses the street 
She’s much too beautiful 

And never has to wait for help 
When she walks into a store 
She’s much too beautiful 

She never worries about dates 
There is always someone beside her 
Because she’s much too beautiful 

But when she is alone 
By herself 
She wonders about love 
True love 

And if anyone can see 
Beneath the surface 
Beyond the beauty 

Sometimes wanting 
All that beauty 
To go far, far away
