You be the beauty
And I'll be the beast
I'll try to sweep you off your feet
Tho the rolls might be reversed
I promise I won't be perverse
You're just the one I've been searching for
Watching you dance across the floor
You'll grip my hand perfectly tight
You know I only have one night
Until that rose wilts and dies
Then I'll forever be living this lie
When those petals fall to the floor
You won't love me anymore
For I'll be trapped inside of a body unkind
Washing away your blissful mind
I'll take your hand but you'll turn away
If I only had the chance to say
and prove to you the lies that have been;
The outside that this body forbids
So go be the beauty
I'll still be the beast
And when I sweep you off your feet
We'll dance until this world subsides
We wont have to worry about those lies
Even when that flower wilts away
I'll want nothing more than for you to stay
And see me for the true romancer to be
The one that steals your heart;
You'll see

You'll grip my hand perfectly tight
You know I only have one night
