What Makes You Beautiful
Alex Goot feat. Wellington Dave Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're turning heads when you
Walk through the door don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
The way that you flip your
Hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground
It ain't hard to tell you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want
You so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you
And I can't believe you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful oh oh
But that's what makes you beautiful
So c-come on you got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
I don't why you're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your
Hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground
It ain't hard to tell you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want
You so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you
And I can't believe you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful oh oh
But that's what makes you beautiful
Nana Nana Nana Nana nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your
Hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground
It ain't hard to tell you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your
Hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground
It ain't hard to tell you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want
You so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you
And I can't believe you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful oh oh
But that's what makes you beautiful

You're insecure don't know what for
You lack confidence and are unsure of your worth
You're turning heads when you
You attract attention and make people notice you
Walk through the door don't need make up
You don't require makeup to enhance your appearance
To cover up
To hide or conceal your natural beauty
Being the way that you are is enough
Simply being yourself is sufficient
Everyone else in the room can see it
Others in the room can recognize your beauty
Everyone else but you
However, you are not aware of it
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
You bring brightness and happiness to my life like no one else
The way that you flip your
The manner in which you casually toss your
Hair gets me overwhelmed
Overwhelmed with admiration and affection
But you when smile at the ground
However, when you shyly smile at the ground
It ain't hard to tell you don't know
It is evident that you are unaware
You don't know you're beautiful
You are oblivious to your own beauty
If only you saw what I can see
If only you could perceive what I perceive
You'll understand why I want
You will comprehend why I deeply desire
You so desperately
You so fervently and urgently
Right now I'm looking at you
At this moment, I am gazing at you
And I can't believe you don't know
And I find it hard to believe that you are unaware
You don't know you're beautiful oh oh
You don't realize your own beauty
But that's what makes you beautiful
However, your unawareness of your beauty is what makes you truly captivating
So c-come on you got it wrong
Come on, you have misunderstood
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
I created this song to demonstrate that I am correct
I don't why you're being shy
I don't understand why you are acting bashful
And turn away when I look into your eyes
And look away when our eyes meet
Nana Nana Nana Nana nana Nana Nana Nana

You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make-up to cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know, oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful, oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful
So co-come on, you got it wrong
To prove I'm right, I put it in a song
I don't know why, you're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eye-eye-eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe

You don't know you're beautiful
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh oh

Man... I usually (99% of the time) absolutely despise song covers like this. But, after seeing this video and their voice, I'll admit that I may be open to listening to more song covers. Well done Alex Goot! They added their own touch to it which was great.
