Her beauty is astounding
It leaves my heart pounding
I won't bore you with the details
But when she walks past an angel hails
I try to explain this feeling
How she sets my head reeling
But she pushes me away
"Ugly got too close to me today"
She doesn't care that I'm a girl
And she sets my head in a whirl
It's my look she objects to
The cruelty of nature, through and through
Every day I try, I do
To get those thre words out "I love you"
Every day she shows me
The dirt is the only place I can ever be
"Ugly. I'm pretty. You're not."
I don't care a jot
Her hands are filthier than mine
Disinfectant doesn't change a detail so fine
"Ugly. I'm pretty. You can never be."
It's true, I know, as I fall to on knee
She looks perfect but her heart is flawed
There's only one way she can be cured
"Pretty. I'm Ugly. You should be too.
I only do this because I love you
The knife slices through her skin
I hold her frame, so gentle and thin
"I'm Ugly now, you're to blame."
Through her bandages her eyes are aflame
"You were always Ugly, to the core
Be Pretty my love, as never before."
