Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I run out of words, to say (ahh)
I wouldn't leave you
'Cause you're that type of girl to make me stay (ahh)
I see the guys tryin' to holla
Girl, I don't wanna bother you
'Cause you're independent, and you got my attention
Can I be your baby father?
That I love what you are doin' 'cause
I see you in the club, you gettin' down, girl
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you
You're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful
Like the clouds you drift me away
Far away, yeah
And like the sun you, brighten my day
You brighten my day, yeah
I never wanna see you cry, cry, cry
And I never wanna tell a lie, lie, lie
Said I never wanna see you cry, cry, cry
And I never wanna tell a lie, lie, lie
I see you in the club, you gettin' down, girl
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you
You're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful
Kardinal told you (you), whether the sky blue or yellow
This fellow ain't that mellow if it ain't about you (you)
Hourglass shape make the place go "oooh"
Waistline makes my soldier salute
I'm a brute (brute) high from ya high heel game
High heels push up ya ass last name
And you livin' in the fast lane, eyes like an angel
Goddess, watch my girl and how she undress
Spotless, hotness bad to the bone
Make me wanna bone, put me in a triple-X zone (zone)
Lames don't know how to talk to you
So let me walk, with you, hold my hand
I'ma spend them grands but after you undress
Not like a hooker, but more like a princess
Queen, empress, president
Pull any way, you got my love 'cause you're beautiful, okay?
I see you in the club, you gettin' down, girl
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you
You're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful
Where'd you come from you're outta this world
To me (oh oh)
You're a symbol of what a big beautiful woman should be (ooh wee) (oh oh)
I never wanna see you cry, cry, cry
And I never wanna tell a lie, lie, lie
Said I never wanna see you cry, cry, cry
And I never wanna tell a lie, lie, lie
I see you in the club, you gettin' down, girl
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club, you showin' thugs love
I wanna get with you
You're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
You're so beautiful
The song โBeautifulโ by Akon featuring Colby O'Donis and Kardinal Offishall is a tribute to a beautiful woman. The song opens with Akon expressing his admiration for her beauty, stating that he is speechless when he sees her. He acknowledges that other men are attracted to her but he doesn't want to bother her because she's independent, but he hopes to be her baby father. He then goes ahead to invite her to the club where she is seen showing love to the thugs, and he expresses his desire to be with her. Colby then comes in with the chorus that sings out the beauty of the lady simply put in "you're so beautiful".
Later on, Kardinal Offishall joins in with his verse as Akon and Colby sing the hook in the background. Kardinal Offishall complements the lady, stating that her hourglass frame and waistline make him go "oooh" and salute in admiration.
