Skin Deep

I love you just the way you are (after they buff that awful scar) and laser the tattoos over your heart I'm sure we're destined never to part Remember to tuck up that cute double chin and put those buttocks back where they'd been Do ask about Lypo and wax that moustache and while you are at it get those teeth that flash A beautiful smile in no time they say it Looks great and it seems such a small price to pay For love such as ours that withstands any crisis so while you are there just look into the prices of permanent lashes and green contacts honey and buy some new clothes for it's well worth the money a wig or a dye job will top off the look and get those new nails that we saw in that book I love you for you but it's so plain to see There's really a much better you you can be So call me next year after all transformations (I'm sure you'll exceed all of my expectations) Just fax me a photo I'll show it with pride But remember I love you for the you that's inside!
