How Can You Call That Beautiful

Believe me I would rather say nothing than lie
 But have you heard about that so-called beautiful guy
 I was begging for some money at the usual time
 The only thing he gave me was a lousy dime
 How can you call that beautiful
 Why can't you see that I'm beautiful
 How can you call that beautiful
 Why can't you see how beautiful I am
 I never paid him much attention before
 I think I know why I never noticed him more
 He doesn't pay enough attention to me
 He's a nice enough guy but he's not what I am
 You believe me, I believe every word you say
 So tell me what you did to be beautiful today
 It's not that I think you're not a beautiful lot
 I wouldn't want to hang around with someone who's not
 How can you call that beautiful
 Why can't I see that you're beautiful
 How can you call that beautiful
 Why can't I see how beautiful you are too
 You're a nice enough guy
 But you're not what you'd have me believe
 I guess we're not as beautiful as we thought
 But it really doesn't matter
 as long as we're all just as ugly
 I guess I really have made a lot of mistakes
 And maybe I haven't got what it takes
 The stuff that I need to be a beautiful me
 I'm a nice enough guy
 but I'm not what I'd have you believe
