Geoff Berner Beautiful In My Eyes
When we go out
To grace a public event with out presence
All eyes are following us
I know what they're thinking, in essence
What a lucky buckaroo
I am just to be seen with you
I know
I know you're thinking it too
Would you be satisfied?
How much of your love is pride?
Would you be satisfied
Only to be beautiful in my eyes?
Those pretty near-sighted girls
Who go out without wearing their glasses
They look cute, but they're destitute
When the fellas start making their passes
How are they supposed to tell
A dreamboat's whistle from a hunchback's bell?
Maybe
Maybe it's just as well
Would you be satisfied?
How much of your love is pride?
Would you be satisfied
Only to be beautiful in my eyes?
I know it sounds like jealousy
I'm not jealous
But sometimes I try to be
When we're out at a séance or a barbeque
It's been five minutes
And nobody's hit on you
Forgive me for saying
I can see you coming unglued
One day, not far away
Your good looks are gonna expire
To be the center of attention then
You'll have to light yourself on fire
Then, I guess we're gonna see
What your answer's gonna be
That might
That might be too late for me
Would you be satisfied?
How much of your love is pride?
Would you be satisfied
Only to be beautiful in my eyes?
